Ponds & Aquatic Plants

Did you post a pic of your large natural pond 1-3 yrs ago?

15 years ago

Did you post a photo of a quite large (1/2 acre +/-) pond, anywhere from 1-3 years ago? It was just fantastic, completely circled with trees and I believe it had a very natural stream/waterfall coming into it.

If that was you- or you have something similar I'd love to see it again! I've dug a large pond but have yet to plant it up, still in search of ideas for planting arrangements.

Thanks so much if you can help!

Did you think about typing "Natural Pond" into the search and see what comes up?

Yes I did do a search with no such luck. But it was here for sure!

How long? About 3-4 years. I can't remember. I let this ensete die because it was so big. I didn't dare take it outside during the summer months because the wind would break it off. Because of this, I couldn't flush the soil with water to flush out salt build up from fertilizers and other stuff in my hard water, so it eventually went down hill. I just put it outside to finish dying a week ago. However my other 3 that I put outside during Summer are down stairs in my unlit, unheated basement room in dormancy. In the Fall, I cut them down to 5-6' stumps, repot them in 15 gallon nursery pots, and stick them in the basement till next Spring. They have large thick "trunks". I do this every year and they come back to full beauty in the Summer.

You are probably a zone 7 on the USDA chart for winter hardiness zones. My mom and I want to see the state of Georgia. I saw it in a "drive by" kinda way enroute to Florida a couple years ago. My friends woke me up so I could see the Live oaks with moss on them all down the street we were driving down. I would love to get to visit Georgia, or even South Carolina. It sounds like you are in the more "country" part of Georgia. That would be great to see also. Well, If I ever had lots of money to just go where I wanted to, I would love to see all the east coast southern states, maybe even the Gulf coast states. I have seen enough of Florida already. I did love the town of Webster Fla. I just loved the "country-ness" of it. Lots of pastures of livestock, and old Live oaks for the cattle and horses to go under, a great fleamarket too. But, it is (like most of Florida) in a big sinkhole area, no thanks on that. I loved key West, but, it is expensive to find a home there, unless you decide to be a well....Hobo of sorts, not judging them, but, there are lots of homeless people there who get food from (guessing) nice folks who buy them a meal. Some have bikes, a couple have 3 wheeled little carts, and carry all their belongings on these carts. It is pretty interesting. I think a couple are veterans of the US armed forces, be they army, Navy, air force, or Marines. They get cared for somehow by nice people. I love Key West as a vacation spot, but it is a party place, and I am no Partier, lol. Poaky1

Please Post Pics of your 5' wide floors or 3.25' wide floors

Angelclub, Now that I redid my 5" wide floors with the long boards (BR-111 Brazilian Cherry Engineered) since I had water damage in my home with Triangulo 3.25" wide boards that were all so short, I am disappointed in how the installers installed the floors in certain very noticeable areas with seams lined up and patterns instead of random and stacking similar colors to make long boards look longer. I did not know what you meant when you mentioned you like to be involved as you like floors to be random and now I totally see what you mean. I wish I could redo a section of my new floors. I also now wish I went with the wider boards only because they were longer. This post popped up in my email box as someone like a comment I made so I was happy to reread the comments.

Nope Enduring. The sink pic is upside down no matter which way I turn the iPad. However, it is just fine on my Mac. I thought it was just a fluck yesterday and figured things would straighten out today. It's been a crazy day with our senior dog at the vets. I got on GW for some sanity tonight but "New To Kitchens.." just continues the craziness. I think I should cut my losses and go read a book. ;) Big BUMP to get this baby off of pg 3.

Doesn't mean I found the pic in the search- but seeing that you care 'so much' will let you know if I find it in your link. Thanks.

You posted looking for assistance "gardenpro ca, and that is what I tried to give you!

I hope I'm wrong, but your,
"but seeing that you care 'so much' will let you know if I find it in your link. Thanks." remark, seems a little sarcastic and I do not see any need for that attitude, after I tried to help you, when no one else came forward!

I did not know if you had done your own search through the posts or used the search engine provided here?

Actually Horton, I took your sentence that ended with an exclamation mark as a tad snarky. I likely took that wrong and I apologize.
But yeah, I did do a search, and there are almost 600 threads to scan through- I scanned plenty but hoped someone might just know where it was.
Most people here have smallish ponds, hoped it'd be obvious.

Thank you GP, and I apologize also, I did not mean to be sarky at all.
I will try to watch my use of exclamation marks in the future. I realize after reading my reply, that a question mark would have been the proper thing to use!
I guess a simple thing like that, can make it a bit ambiguous, when we read some of the posts/replies here.
It can make you wonder if a person is miffed and sending a cryptic "Smarten up message", or just possibly trying to be helpful after all?
At least this will keep your [?] question up at the top and hopefully, the person you are looking for will reply.
My [?] is there as you don't seem to be the original poster,who posed the question in the first place? Unless you moved to the U.S from Canada and changed your user name? LOL
Take care,

I certainly would conclude that dirtslinger2 and gardenpro_ca appear to be the same person? I can see why you would think that horton. Oh I almost forgot, I also did a search a few weeks ago for ponds as I am interested in a goldfish pond and found quite a few pictures of different kinds of ponds, but I have no way of knowing which one dirtslinger2 and gardenpro_ca are looking for! I hope they are able to find it because the search feature sure is a handy tool!
