Looks lovely, I had to get rid of my ponds when the grandchildren arrived. They were quite deep and I could feel at ease with them outside knowing the water was closeby. I will get some pictures of my yard shortly too

Oh, Steph, the rest of it isnt so lush!! SOme of its a real mess in fact!!Love to see yours anyway Fluffychook, yes, we had this one blocked off for about 3 years with an ugly fence until recently. Skye is nearly 3 now and Ryan is nearly 5 and its not ver deep about a foot I suppose. They dont go near it very much. It really needed some TLC. Well, not long after the fence came down, but before I'd had a chance to clean it up, the kids stuck a spade through the liner!! We saved the 1 lonely fish and put him in the tank inside with some other little feeder darts. I then got new liner, dug out all the plants except the really big ones and redid the whole thing. Those photos were taken after I put everything back again. I bought the other fish some new friends and put the lot back in the pond. No fish inside now which is good. They are happier out there anyway. More room. I took some more photos of my garden this morning so i will post them soon. Come on everyone, put your on too!!Even some nice flowers in the garden or something unusual....

Well, here are some more that I took this morning- This is my humble little vege patch, with beans (climbing up an old bedhead) tomatoes, lettuce, radishes, english spinach, capsicum corn, carrots, leeks and spring onions. Some of it is still too tiny to see in this photo as the seeds were only planted a month or so ago This is a garden beside the back patio, with a nice rose, giant salvia, cannas etc. The rose was meant to be a bush variety when I got it from the nursery a few years ago, but it turned out to be a climber or a pillar rose!! Its doing well so I cant bear to move it Another garden adjacent to this along patio, this has roses, snow in summer, variegated salvia, black eyed susan, lavender, daylily and a few other cottage plants. Only replanted some of this garden bed after having tidy up a few months ago. Its all taking off again. Well, thats about it for now, gotta go and get tea organised! Wendy

great gardens, I am afraid I have a brown thumb, even the weeds dont grow, BUT you guys are getting me motivated to try again, will have to start a vege patch, have to put all the chicken manure to somewhere

Wow fluffychook, your gardens are superb!! Very neat and pretty. Not like mine, its a bit of a jungle, but I love it!! Love the icebergs and your water feature. The ducks certainly looked happy there on your patio. Gee they grow so fast dont they? Great to see. Cheers, Wendy
