circle gardens

I'm digging out holes like tree holes and filling them with compost and dirt. I plant a variety of vegies in these holes. In this one there are potatoes, corn, beans and cabbage. This helps me make indentations that have mulch and hold water and the variety of vegies provides a diverse diet and look interesting. I'm filling up a space with these circle gardens.

Pond

The Pond is starting to take on a life of it's own. I enjoy sitting on the bench and watching the fish dart about.

Tub pond

I've got the fish and water in the pond. I'm doing some land scaping so I will keep you posted as the plants grow and fill in. The fish are happy darting about in the new space.

Progress with the bathtub fish pond.

I'm making some progress with the bathtub fish pond. It has a way to go but I'm posting pictures to show the progress. Remember the hole I was digging that looked like a grave? Well now it has the tub in and I'm just starting to put rocks and plants around it.
