Stock tank update

Today, the dwarf water lily bloomed again. And the lily fronds nearly cover the entire surface now! I never get tired of looking at our pond.

Being new to gardening, I've been reading up on all sorts of wildlife subjects. Twice now, I've landed on this blog via google serches. Well done blog, yo! Stock tank pond? Wife wants a bird bath, but now I have a better idea! Oh, wait. What about the mosquito problem? Hmm...

Anyway, I love what you've done with your blog!

Gambusia fish! They LOVE mosquito larvae!

Fish? Ok, that would be the "stock" part of the stock-tank pond, right? I'm still learning how to keep my plantings alive and healthy (and battle spider mites). Perhaps stock-tank pond is for the more advanced. I'll work it into the grand design for next year...maybe.

Check out my blog where we put our tank together. There's a link to another blogger's website where she gives her how-to also. It wasn't difficult at all. I LOVE my pond!
