pool pond

A British Columbia gardener spent Sunday morning cleaning the stream running through his pandemic-era pond, which has now fully naturalized. He says moss is both a blessing and a curse: welcome for the natural look, but fast-growing at this time of year. He is transplanting some of it to help naturalize a second, newer pool pond on the property.

A gardener in Canada has started painting their backyard pool pond, applying primer and reporting it looks great already, with a blue top coat planned for the following day. The update is part of an ongoing do-it-yourself build that also touches on greenhouse and apple-growing projects shared with fellow gardening enthusiasts.

A Vancouver Island resident doing yard cleanup realized a hose can be permanently integrated into the overflow of a backyard pool pond, where grass will eventually cover it. A similar setup in the front yard near a pandemic-era garden structure is now almost invisible. It is a small bit of landscaping problem-solving being shared with friends online.

A home gardener in Canada says it is finally fruit-picking season, sharing that three months of work on a backyard pool pond and greenhouse kept them from posting about their fruit trees. They report their 'Blushing Delight' apple tree, bought at a local nursery, is thriving and heavy with apples, alongside a grape harvest.
