Water Garden Therapy

yup...do that alot. Yesterday when I was "supposed" to be planting all
the perennials lying in their pots at various spots in the
gardens(never could resist a "cool" new plant or garden centre), I
ended up spending all day rearranging plants in the garden around the
pond since they "just didn't look right". Hubby came home and said
"planting dear...not moving"..to which my reply was
"potatoe..potato"...
gardens and ponds...2 things which are NEVER finished

I eat my dinner cold every day. I just can't pull myself way from my pond.

Ok, what do you do when you can't do what you want to do with your pond
and filters and all when you want to do it?
First you stroll around the pond rethinking what you are planning to do
and wondering why you did not think of that the first time. Then, just
so you feel like you have done something constructive, look for the most
crowded pot(s) of plants, take them out, split them, repot them, put one
(or one of each) back in your pond and give the other to your neighbor
who has a pond! Then you can walk around your pond a bit more looking
at your latest handiwork and feeling better about the other stuff.
Try it! Works good for me! Anyone else have a 'water garden therapy'
they do?

Your therapy is my therapy. I just potted up several pond plants for the
neighbor putting in a 3 to 4000 gallon pond across the road. :-)

Tomorrow my husband and I are going to spend the day emptying out the 800
gallon pond, removing the goldfish and culling the butterfly koi. This
neighbor wants anything we're getting rid of........

I remind myself to sometimes sit down on the comfortable covered-swing I
bought specifically for that spot by the pond, feed the long-tailed goldfish
I chose because they were easy-care, listen to the waterfall whose stones I
spent hours arranging for good sound effect, take a deep breath, clear my
mind and just relax.
If I manage do stay there 10 minutes that's a really good day. G
