I'm baack...
It's been over two years, but I finally have both a newsgroup connection and
pond plans. It's nice to see that some of the old regulars are still here. Life goes well here in Nova Scotia. We can't keep the sort of pond I had in Ontario, given the herons, kingfishers and ospreys (I doubt an osprey is a real problem for pond fish, but who knows), so there'll be nothing more than feeder goldfish in it - and I fully expect "feeder" to be the operative word - but we should be able to manage a 500 gallon above ground pond, attached to our deck. Filtration will be non-existent, as I live off-grid, but I'll probably attach a small solar panel for a daytime water feature. -- derek |
DEREK!!! Hi there sweetie. Gosh it is good to see you.
We did disagree on lots of things - remember the Canadian Pond Weed? LOL I was thinking about you just the other day - one of those floating throughts that drift in and out of my brain while waiting for the traffic light to change ;-) Good to see you are among us.

LOL I was thinking about you just the other day - one of those floating throughts that drift in and out of my brain while waiting for the traffic light to change ;-) My life is full of them - the floating thoughts, that is. I don't have to face an awful lot of traffic lights these days. Good to see you are among us. Thanks everybody for the reception! -- derek |

We did disagree on lots of things With Derek, just about every "old" one here could say that. ;o) Derek replied: Well, YEAH! :-) What's life without a good argument? They have been fewer,winkwink but a few subjects have gone thru here that I've thought: "That guy/gal is lucky Derek isn't here." ;o) Now that we've thoroughly scared the newbies. Welcome back. :o) ~ jan ~Power to the Porg, Flow On!~ |

I used to live 5 miles from the oldest, and arguably best, water garden nursery in Canada (Moore Water Gardens). And not much further from two other good ones. Supplies will be much harder to come by in Nova Scotia. -- derek |
