some pictures taken during summer 2006, pond has been in place since March 2005.

we have put a patio by pond too....













we are going to build a pergola over the pond, and a shed and green house behind the patio, then pond 2 opposite pond 1.

Oh I envy you so much, this all looks so beautiful... sigh

You are going to have the coolest garden EVER when you get all those ponds in there! You really must have put sooo much work into it all.. t'is amazing.

cheers

i just love the whole 'pond project' the designing it and planning, then creating it

Whoa!! I'm moving in with you!!! Fabulous!!!!!!

Wow, how spectacular that looks, Loz!! Everything has grown in so nicely, and it looks so natural, like it has been there forever.
What is blooming in the black tub next to the patio? I see red and pink of something...

Absolutly gorgeous, Your pond really Grew alot and evolved over the time.
Its very beautiful and i too envy you I hope someday to have a beautiful pond like yourself.

Thank you Alex - sorry it so long for me to get round to putting them up!

cheers Andrea, i can't remember what they are? i'll find out and let you know.....

OMG Loz - I can't believe how wonderfully everything's grown It just looks so amazing. How much time do you reakon you spend out by the pond?

thanks Jen

far to much

they were a fancy tulip, they have died back now but hopefully should bloom next year... i'll see if i have a better pict somewhere...

this is the banch back in may when the clematis was in bloom.

*jealous*

It's really been a beautiful project for you ,as well as us.I can't get over how fast everything grew and filled in,especially the pond pic's.The patio looks great,and we look forward to the rest that you are adding.I'm really waiting for the 2nd pond.

cheers....

pond 2 planning is well underway, but this year we've still to build shed/greenhouse (which i plan on housing my 50 gal QT/Med vat, 3.5' tank for breeding and brine shrimp hatchery) and hopefully pergola, thou that might wait till pond 2 is in place so they will have matching ones

Loz my goodness is that gorgeous! How relaxing it must be to sit out there with a cool drink and just "be".
I bet you do it all the time.......I know I would.

it's hard to believe you just put that pond in last year. I imagine you can't wait until you get your other pond in so you can hog up the rest of the koi in the world!

I love the new patio. Looks great next to the pond. I'm looking forward to the next bunch of pictures on the new pond

OMG! That is one very preatty yard you have. I say yard, because everything together makes it just wonderful! Everything has come together so nicely!

Thanks for sharing the pics, seems like just yesterday you were starting this project!

thansk everyone, it is nice to sit by the pond reading or having bbq etc.

GAH! I totally missed this thread! It looks beautiful Loz, just gorgeous. I am completely envious!

Im looking forward to pics of pond #2 progress.

Thanks!

Lozbug, I read your earlier thread sometime back and was wondering how the pond must be looking now. I missed this thread completely and just saw the new pic;s. It's gorgeous. All that hard work you put in last year is really worth it, isn't it?
Your garden looks really really beautiful

Lozzie,it all looks wonderful.I think that you have a natural talent for Pond making,and should consider a new career.You could make some Big Bucks!

Looks really, Really good!

Thanks guys.

i like the idea Dev - not sure if there would be much call for i in my area.....??

You never know.It may be more of a need than you think.

What a beautiful space.

There's not much more that I can say, that hasn't already been said.

Feels so good when a project turns out so well and keeps getting better huh?

wow thats like a whole garden.. nice work.

What an accomplishment! Beautiful

Absolutely stunning!! Can't wait to see more pics as you keep adding more stuff.

Thanks for the pics!

no probs! thanks.

it a heck of a mess at the moment, we've had a storm and it's not damaged in anyway, just a mess!

spring will be new piccys
