Tanja’s Pond

Bo has been bragging about his friend’s pond to my second sister and I, and we finally had a chance to visit her yesterday.  The pond sits behind her house in wooded area.

Her pregnant cat drinks water from the pond waterfall.

My Dad’s Garden in Late May

A little update on my dad’s garden for my sisters.  First, let’s start with my second sister’s water lily, it was in bloom on Saturday.  I missed the ones that bloomed the Sunday before, she called me to see if I wanted to go over and take some pictures but I wasn’t feeling well, I came down with a cold from being out in the rain on Saturday at the Dragon Boat Race.

Her fish pond.

Her fish would come up and open their mouths when it’s feeding time.  She has several huge Koi fish and had someone to offer her as much as $200 for them, but she turned it down.

My dad’s corn, they look very healthy.

Spring Flowering Tree

I’m happy that last week snow didn’t kill the buds of the flower tree, the Bradford Pear trees are in full bloom today.

I believed this is a Peach tree, a friend gave this to us last year, but I didn’t have a chance or place to plant it.  I’m kind of surprised that it is still alive, it’s also in full bloom today.  I finally planted it in my little fenced in area.

I didn’t take down the Robin’s nest from last year, and was hoping that it’d come back again in late summer for their second round of nesting, but it never did.  This year, I believed this is a Finch bird, I took this picture from the inside of my house.

Small Garden in Late July

This post is for EVERYONE , my dad’s garden is at its prime, and I’m thinking that this might be my last post on this year’s garden. The string beans are a success; he has them in two areas, one at the garden area, and another by the deck. My dad ties white clothes on the beans that he is saving for next year’s planting, otherwise we would pick them first because they are ones of the best-looking beans.

Updated 7/26/2008: I updated more photos at the bottom of this post on my section of garden and fishpond, water garden.

Another row of string beans by the deck.

Small Garden in Late May

This post is for my oldest sister. Things are a lot bigger since the last time I posted photos of Dad’s Small Garden, and second sister’s fish pond is doing really well, her water lilies look healthy, and the leaves are big, unlike mine that barely made it to the top, I’m thinking that it’s because my pond is a lot deeper than hers.

This is her fishpond.

This is mine.
