Back Garden

How Beautiful :)

lovely garden, looks really hot there odianao

I live in Charleston, South Carolina, US It gets very hot here, especially August, of course. I have a "koolaroo" sun shade sail over the pond to keep the algae down and herons up and away. ;-) I built this pond completely my myself, one spade at a time. This is it's first incarnation, the liner leaked and I had to pull it all up and do over with thicker epdm. I have send mortared in the flagstones. Too many weeds grew up in the sand and gravel. Got sun stroke from the heat twice that summer, but it is worth it. I also built the pergola over the patio with only help to upright the main posts. I'm orginally a Kentucky hillbilly from fine pioneering ancestors, so I guess I'm not afraid of using a little ingenuity and a little sweat. Or maybe I'm just retarded! ;-o

lol , naw your just like the rest of us, not afraid of hard work and isnt it so rewarding when you can say you did it all by yourself?

Well done Odiando, youv'e done a FAB job, Ive worked hard in my garden over time, dunno where i got the strength from' but i couldn't of built a pond or pergola, no way,, I take my hat off to you girl,...Dee..
