Have you ever had a water garden and then got tired of it?
Comments (16)Well, both look absolutely lovely. Shady - Is that a real dog?? If so, he looks very, very content. Well, it looks like the electric fence may be working. No damage last night. Hope it lasts. Count yourself lucky if you've never had to deal with racoons. The first time this season I realized I had a problem was the evening I left the pump running all night. I should have know better because these critters love moving water. The pump is just a small recirculating pump with an intake valve on the side and an outflow valve on the top where the water shoots out. I attached a small piece of tubing to the outflow valve so the water would bubble up closer to the surface and cause that nice sound of moving water. Well, one morning when I woke up, I opened my bedroom blinds to take a look at the garden as I always do. The pond was empty of water. The 'coons had managed to move the pump so the outflow valve shot the water out of the pond and drained it. Luckily, there was still about 6 inches of water in the bottom so the fish survived at least. After refilling it, the next night the critters ate all the water hyacinth. These were the water hyacinths I'd over wintered inside the house for the last 6 months. It's funny, but they don't bother anything else in the yard or garden. Just the pond. Once the water lily starts blooming, they eat the flowers and buds. For now, at least this summer, I'll keep the pond, but I have a feeling it's going to go at some point. Kevin...See Moreo.t. Have I offended someone!:(
Comments (19)Hi Susan, Sorry you are feeling down. I hope you feel better. I get like that too especially in the winter time. This is my 2nd year ws. I just love it. It keeps your hands in the dirt even with snow on the ground. I always like to say we are the coldest gardeners out there...LOL There are some wonderful members on the ws forum too. They are always there to answer any questions and for moral support. I hope you try it. It is very rewarding especially if like me you need lots of plants but dont have lots of cash. Wishing you the best...Barb...See MoreI apologize if I have offended
Comments (8)Caliloo, You have no reason to apologize. I've got total respect for you and most others here. I value all info my tiny brain can soak up and enjoy your posts. I tried my hardest to do as I've learned from past experience and just avoid the posts of users I'd prefer not to converse with. But this one resident complainer shouldn't call people out on a public forum like they do. My apologies to you also if you thought I was talking directly to you on a different topic. It was addressed more to a group as a whole, since I've seen quit a bit of bickering on here lately....See MoreWhat's the best deal you ever got...
Comments (16)I was given an upright freezer when dh and I got married a few years ago. I tried to be neat and organized when I moved last fall, but I accidentally left a bucket of water in it and the movers moved it that way. Yuck mold! I finally cleaned it out yesterday. There are a lot of great food deals this week so I stocked up. By stocking up at this time and not right when I moved here I paid attention to organizing it. Frozen meals on one shelf, meat on another and veggies in the bottom tray. It looks nice and now I think I may label the shelves just so we don't randomly throw stuff in there. If I can't find it, it goes to waste. I also think Jaybird got a great deal....See Morethuha
