Default Lotus Pond in Bloom - 2004

It is deep enough. Now to get around the other specifics ... lol Aye
there's the rub.
I'd start with growing plants ... I know they are expensive
but I'll bet they would take off. Now, the watergardening labradors are a
different story. Wonder if you could keep them away if you encircled the
plants
in a meshy sort of enclosure .... I don't where I'm headed with this
suggestion ?

Thanks for the compliment, Bonnie!

The frog bog is about 10 inches deep. It was covered with river rock (not

sure
why I did that...) I've been having the boys weed it out every fall, then

it's
a race in the spring to see which plant can overgrow it in the summer.

This
year pennywort and lizard's tail are doing a great job. I've tried to

start
seeds of lotus in there, no go but maybe plants will have a better time of

it.
Just a matter of luck and karma since the labradors like to wade around in

it.
You have to be tough to live in the frog bog.
