This is such a good posting. Smashing pics. So Pac— who’s over the moon in the Great Pacific Northwest then?
Sjoerd thank you for your kind comments. You alway make me smile. Admire you garden talents . And so many others with great looking , productive gardens and skills. Yes it is getting warmer as winter is joyfully leaving my garden leaving way to actually get something done . It was warm enough for the pond fish to beg for food. Encouraged that they made it thru last winters tantrums.
Good to see that fish. How many of those creatures do you have? There is something calming about a fish pond…or just watching fish, like in Gail’s aquarium. Good to know I can make you smile now and then. Smiling is so positive innit.
There is just one or two left. I have to hurry and fix the bamboo knocker or the raccoons will come fishing. Which means I have to dig out the catch basin and clear the muck… rehire the short in the pump cord and well… the bamboo clacker makes a lot of noise … fingers crossed it can be fixed.
These fish disappear here but the culprits are not racoons, it is blue herons. Most folks here span a section of chicken wire over their ponds.

I’ll get a pic for you from last season. Pic showing pond foam floating planter with carex grass…there are planting holes to plant the roots in or place in a pot.
All that looks super, Pac. The floating techniek looks very good. I can certainly see that it is effective. you are showing great plants, birds and an Aku-Akt kead. Jane has one too.
The wisteria is just starting to flower. The first rhododendron flower. This flower was growing directly out of the forest floor. It is only a couple of inches tall. Never seen anything like it. This fir tree is stunning.
Wow the wisterias are gorgeous. so good pruning there… amazing. The flower growing up from the forest floor? I’m curious will look it up.. Purple pine cone Korean Fir? Is another beauty. Rhody’s and azaleas are on stage too. Weather is warmin up flor a lot of us . Spring has arrived.. Happy spring everyone
Some pretty tulips I planted last fall. Much prettier than I expected. I don’t have very good luck with tulips coming back the next spring. At least the deer didn’t get the blooms when they ran through this area.
