We usually kept a stock tank heater in ours over winter to keep from freezing.<br /><br />These photos are amazing. You've seen my place and tell me that our property is bigger than yours, but all your photos make your gardens seem far more spacious/elaborate than what I have. How do you pack so much into a regular home lot??Belladonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704410443745252997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7489236236876359231.post-51668554402522629372009-06-15T14:28:54.642-06:002009-06-15T14:28:54.642-06:00Gorgeous!

I'm wishing I'd purchased more than one I like it so much. Hopefully, it will seed around like yours does. Anyway thank you for doing that! :-)<br />Now to your pond ~ it's gorgeous. I bet I will wish I had something bigger than my little pre-formed pond soon. I'm enjoying it so much. You all should be VERY proud of the beautiful oasis you've created. It's so well done. It would be hard to come inside at all during the summer! I have that Black Lace Elderberry also and you are absolutely right about how gorgeous it is! Mine just started blooming. <br />Have you ever had anything eat your Koi? I've been scared to buy any for fear of losing them to herons or raccoons. Yours look pretty big so they must have been in the pond awhile?? One more question, do you put a heater in your pond during the winter? I've wondered if that would help. Mine is only 19 inches deep and I'm hoping to overwinter the goldfish in there???? <br />I'm so glad Catherine prompted you to post about your pond. It's truly is delightful.Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7489236236876359231.post-44256098386712966892009-06-13T14:26:43.599-06:002009-06-13T14:26:43.599-06:00Wow, Victoria, looks like a mountain landscape!!! ...Wow, Victoria, looks like a mountain landscape!!! Incredible! Really! I was reading and I was thinking that you and Kim are really creative and hard working. Love your ideas of making a pond, waterfall, wood deck and everything. And when you told us that you have fish inside the pond, I was amazed. I don't think I will ever do this by myself. I'm not at all so much creative as you, guys!!!<br /><br />Applause, really! You made my night!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138328152399799481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7489236236876359231.post-2309168771297063822009-06-13T10:53:15.568-06:002009-06-13T10:53:15.568-06:00I've always wanted a pond.

Just all the new plant possibilities alone make it worth it. You have done an exceptional job, really nice. Your plantings look very natural. I have a feeling I'd fill mine up with plants.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7489236236876359231.post-1679406155873782262009-06-13T06:00:35.997-06:002009-06-13T06:00:35.997-06:00Hi Victoria and Kim, what a wonderful place you ha...Hi Victoria and Kim, what a wonderful place you have created in your garden. The writeup is good info, you answered the questions I had as I read. I like the Blacklace Elderberry, very pretty. The waterfalls is really pretty. I agree with Ginger, you should have that water feature profiled in a magazine.Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7489236236876359231.post-88249177787191760742009-06-12T19:27:23.299-06:002009-06-12T19:27:23.299-06:00My gosh, y'all, your water feature is amazing!...My gosh, y'all, your water feature is amazing!
