I must be crazy. Anyone else?

On Saturday I mowed the back yard for the first time this year. I left a big
semi-circle unmowed because it was filled with white violets and I love them.

You're not crazy. And neither am I. I love violets, and WHITE
violets... what a treat!

You mean there are people who MOW them down???

I was down on my rather plentiful belly yesterday taking macro close
ups of Viola Tricolor and Viola Labridorica that are volunteers in my
lawn...mine will never make it into a Scott's commercial!

Pixi, it's worth it. You don't have to have a fancy pond to have an
enjoyable one. Mine is 4X2X2, approx. It has no filter or pump or any
of that. I don't test my water and I don't even have a
lantern.....yet. My water is clear to the bottom, I have no
mosquitos, 2 goldfish that are cool to watch, baby snails i like to
watdh, and they keep the pots clean, and i have 2 or 3 baby goldfish
left. I am hoping for toads some day. I have never had anything like
this and it is easier to me than in the ground gardening. My water
lilly is my most interesting as i can nearly watch it grow. I am
watching pad #9 come to the surface. Some of the names of my plants
escape me, but i like watching them grow. I think you should go for
it. If you do i will send you some of my never ending supply of
azolla. I just scooped out another 1/2 gallon of it. It grows so fast.

unless you really really want a pond, why not use a liner, fill it in and have a bog
garden. Ingrid
