I am very attracted to Tropical, lush, big leaf plants. This is not easy with my affliction of ZDD.

ZDD......yeah, we've all got it.

I finally have come to the conclusion that hibiscus and I cannot cohabitate in the Northeast despite my best efforts. Ah, well......

I'm coming back as an island sweetheart surrounded by leafy, lush plants and wonderfully scented flowers.

Oh, and a pina colada or two......

Hi Dave and welcome to the Dis F and G. Loved reading your Pond Journal.

About 8 years ago I decided to put a pond in. Little did I know it would take me 2 years to complete the work. Are you ever done, not really. I now realize I should have gone bigger. Tomorrows dream.

I laughed at so many of the minor dilemmas. Not minor at the time, it took real problem solving. I can relate to them.

# 1 rule pick a flat piece of property. Thats great if your property is flat, but when your yard runs down hill, it a challenge.

After 2 years of terracing and being laugh at, "Why is there a figure 8 hole in your yard?" The liner finally went in.

I'm thinking of re-designing some of the area's and enlarging the pond a little this year. Love some of your ideas.

Happy Ponding!
