Re: [GSAS-Member] water gardens?

["Betty Goetz" <haika@drizzle.com>]

I really really would love to see what others have done. I want to put a
largish (bigger than anything else I have right now) above-ground water
garden in where I can do some of the larger hardy waterlilies.  I'm
thinking something built out of 6 x 6" timbers. Rectangular.

I'll send Steev a photo of one of my current water gardens taken back at
my old house about 3 years ago. Back then it was mostly parrot feather
(not the red-stemmed kind) and duckweed. And breeding goldfish. In the
photo, you can kinda see one of the orange goldfish but I really was
taking a picture of Barr (my Siberian). I got the black half-barrel at
DeYoung's in Woodinville about 10 years ago....wish I'd gotten MORE than
the 3 I bought at the time.
