Spring time Pond (Pic) Can't wait for good weather.

The start to another year, wished it was summer 52 weeks here in MN, can't wait to start putting flowers around the pond. It was nice to see the Koi made it all winter.

Your pond is very nice! I have not seen many that are built up like that. I love the brickwork! The waterfall looks nicely placed too.

That is an awesome setup. I want to do an above ground pond as well. What size is it? Please do keep it updated with pics as you plant the flowers.

More pics.

Here are a couple from last year with the girls and a frog, as you can tell it's been lots of fun. The flowers are mature here too....the pond water works excellent to water and fertilize .

The pond totals a little over 250 gallons with the waterfalls. Our new lab puppy loves the pond as well...will be interesting this year.

here is a pic early last year when the flowers are put in......

as you can see the brick work in the front isn't cut yet, my only regret now is that it isn't bigger. It's very relaxing to sit and listen to the cascade and watch the fish (and birds).
