Pond Installation Pillows

Installing the garden pond

'You must be Jim's new gardener. I'm his neighbour, Gerald. Had any luck with the Petunias this year? Aren't those Jim's feet sticking out of the ornamental pond?'

Water Gardening: One thing is certain - you will find the peace and tranquility of water an almost irresistible attraction.

Fisherman Evolution: They have evolved over the years with three distinct species...the largest of these is the coarse fisherman.

"Where's all your fish?" "I never should have bought 'coy' fish."

But there are other pleasures still for the fisherman's delight....for nature is everywhere about him.

'There. See? Your buddy is OK. Now show us our guy before we make the swap.'

Ducks look alarmed at 'No Swimming' sign.

Ricochet

Six frogs leap off their lily pads.

"Is it me, or would a dung beetle taste really good right now?"

Sooners! Opening day of fishing.

'I think this is where our fish pond was.'

"Well, I'll be darned. It does come with its own creature."

'My ultimate ambition is a large pond.'

Water Gardening: And you will find yourself thinking over many garden problems at the waterside.

"That's brilliant Mr Beaver: These wooden platforms are a lot more durable than lilypads..."

Vernal Pond: Here today. . . gone tomorrow.

The Gardener's Calendar: If your fish pool is covered with ice...make a hole in it.

Tadpoles

"So...how do we get out of this one Fatso?"

'Get down from there!'

An occassional clean out should prevent unpleasant smells.

'Bloody Joneses! Just because we've put in a new fishpond...'

"Why so tense?"

'The food's lousy! The water's too cold! The pond needs cleaning! You should feed us more often!'

"We have got to get a bigger pond."

'Boy I freak out when slimy things touch my feet...'

"Mom! I found where grandma lost her dentures!"

'It was a great holiday: It rained all day, every day...'

A jogger being bombarded by tiny battleships in a pond.

'Why not put it in position first then fill it with water?'

"They have been in a terrible mood these days. You know how painful it is when they start developing legs."

"That's embarrassing!"

And many other things you have not seen there before.
