Ducks won't swim in the pond
Comments (9)We bought our 2 romain tufted geese when they were a few weeks old and they are now 16 months old. The were about 3 months old when we finished building a 7,000 gal pond for them and eventually the 2 turtles we had. The first day we filled it they were 3 months old, I tried to get them in but they didn't want to go so I jumped in and they jumped in. They loved it, dove way down and popped up beside me. The next day they went in when I went in, the third day the pond wasn't so clean so I didn't want to go in but helped them in, they stayed for a short period of time and got out, showing no interest in returning. Later when they were drinking from it I nudged one in and she stayed a little while but never went back. They love their baby pool but they won't even go near the pond. We upgraded their baby pool when they got older and bigger and they had the hardest time picking their feet up when they got in, as if they would sink or something. We would like to upgrade that pool but afraid to waste the money they seem to be afraid of the depth of the water. I guess like kids they are not all the same. Who would have guessed!!!...See MoreMaking a new garden shed...Advice
Comments (4)Oh boy, a project after my own heart! What kind of roof will it have? If it is a shed roof, make yourself a rain gutter ending in a rain barrel mounted up high; old timers down in Louisiana always had a big sistern out of cypress between the house and the kitchen garden. Plan to save as much rain as you can. For the roof, if it is corrugated tin or something like that, you can get panels of the same corrugating pattern out of polycarbonate from Lowes/HD. They would allow light in too. It would only require a couple of panels. And if you do a cement floor, how about a slight slope toward the exit to help hose off the floor if you will store bags of mulch or fertilizer in there? And with pots of dirt around, it will have overflow from watering. I'd put a potting bench on the outside wall where it would be convenient but not unsightly. A few brackets for hanging baskets and some heavy duty sconces for potted geraniums or something pretty lower down. We have a 12x16 barn-shaped garden shed purchased from HD, and it looked huge when we got it. However, a riding lawntractor consumed most of the open space. You'd be surprised how FAST that stuff you mention storing in there takes up ALL the storage space. From the center ridge beam of our shed, we now have suspended my 14' canoe. My long handled shovels, hoes, rakes, etc, are in a long sort of broom closet attached to the privacy fence BEHIND the garden shed. Not even inside it. Of course, my dear hubby has cluttered up the shed so I have claimed the derelict cement block garage for my own. No roof on it currently, but when we put one on it, it will be the polycarbonate panels as much as possible. It already has a cement floor in very poor shape from tree roots pushing it up. However, the culprit tree was removed this month and that issue is under control. What would be the sun orientation if you made a translucent leanto extending the shed at the rear? That would be a good way to winter your plants without rearranging your shed interior or reserving space for them all year. I have a book to recommend to you, which is new and great. As soon as I find it, I will post with the info. Love your project. :)...See Moreplanning a plant swap in orlando, fl

Comments (18)I could have said almost exactly the same thing! We arrived early - about 8:30 - and waited for the gates to open because my friend isn't a member of the Gardens. It was her first sale too and she was as delighted with it as I was. We had to make a trip to the car to unload the first cartfull after just 30 minutes but then were more conservative the rest of the morning. The vendors were plentiful, the gardens were beautiful and the weather was perfect! And I even ran into a few GardenWebbers. I got back home in the early afternoon with enough time to plant most of what I purchased and spread 20 bags of mulch. What a great day! Kate...See Moregreenshoekitty
