The filter&#8217;s been running for a few weeks after the major cleanout we did and the 20 or so fish are back in the pond. This past weekend we finally bought a few plants and that has made a world of difference in how the pond looks! We bought some parrot&#8217;s feather and a sensitive fern, some rushes, and a pickerel plant, and some elephant ears. We also bought a few of the *floaters* to offer some shade until we buy any waterlilies. The floating heart that grew last year as a volunteer has started sending out shoots and the mint that grows in the rocks is already out of control! This year I would really like to work on planting the edges of the pond; other than a few hostas, daylilies, and some monarda, nothing much that I&#8217;ve planted in the past has been able to survive. The pond is in full sun for most of the day and those rocks really heat up! I haven&#8217;t spotted the frog since we did the cleanout, but I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s lurking there somewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mary had asked for some pond pics and we&#8217;ve done a bit of work lately so that I&#8217;m not so embarrassed to share photos.
