Yard: Pond and Pots

A new addition to the backyard in the form of a pond.  It's made out of concrete and the intended use is probably a stock drinking trough but we've adapted it for the garden - high enough to keep it free of  cane toads and the dog.  It's a good size and large enough to have a few fish and plants to add some interest to the yard.  So far we have a few goldfish and a solar pump to circulate the water.

You can see the few water plants, we've built up a bit of a rockery in the front with some bromeliads and ground cover .  This is looking out from the deck.

My new colour co-ordinated pots

The garden under the stairs is still in progress,as is the area under the deck which will house more of the shade-loving type plants - ferns, orchids ..........
