nice garden pond fish flowers i like my home grown toms this time off year better than that super market shite, you must put some hours in on that garden m8 well its a credit to ya.
@stuartholly Thanks for your kind comment, this is where I spend a lot of time , and with my model railway, bit to go before my tomatoes will be ready, but yes carn`t beat homegrown
Now thats just lovely .. an amazing amount of colour nothing like lots of flowers to brighten the garden up ..i am afraid mine plants are nearly all ever green's hosta's,phormium, black bamboo etc i plant a few tubs up with cosmos and do 3 baskets for the front of the house and thats about it LOL just spend too much time on the koi ..as i rescue koi & pondfish so i am always busy with rescues ..maye this year i can spend extra time on the garden :o) may even get chnace to sit for a while LOL
thanks for your comment , i sometimes think I should have more evergreens and peranials, would make life a bit easier, but I also like to sit and watch the fish
Thanks for that Mike, it`s a case of doing what you enjoy doing, and the 3 things I like are Gardens, Koi fish, and model railways, keeps me out of trouble and busy
lovely looking fish and very big also, I only have 2 females as big as your fish but not seen them for 2 weeks as the snow and ice have frozen down my covers. your garden is very nice, looks like you have a lot of time on your hands to built a nice pond and garden and a very nice model railway
Thanks for that comment Andy, yes I retired 4 years ago after working away from home most of the time I took up these hobbies and have enjoyed doing all these things, I only moved here 4 years ago, so it`s kept me busy
If its only toaken you 4 years to complete the pond and garden you have done very well my friend. As for your layout it looks very good and have stolen a few ideas from you. keep up the goood work and keep enjoying both hobbies
Beautiful garden and great crystal clear water in the pond. I wish the water in mine was clear but its impossible in a clay lined pond full of all sorts of carp. I may install a filtered koi pond in the future just so I can see the fish, but at present I'm busy installing other peoples. Great job you've done there. Fish look very happy.
Can I live with you?
