Let's see your wheel barrow!

@Carol Dee have my eye out for Japanese Iris, are yours in the water or planted at water's edge ? Beautiful pond I would surround it with tiki torches. At night I would get a glass of wine, light torches and watch fish eat bugs attracted to the torches

You'd most likely be watching the bats swooping for bugs and water as well, Nyboy. They were my favorite pond-watching visitors.

@Nyboy the iris are planted near the pond and not in the water. Unfortunately it is a favorite spot for DH's dog to lift his leg. Some years they struggle to survive. Note the bit of fencing to #1 keep dog from peeing directly on plant or #2 taking the short cut across the pond and knocking stones into pond.

I love bat watching and thinking about how many mosquitos the bats are eating

Ditto I love anything that eats mosquitoes

Same here hate mosquitoes, and we have a lot of them this year

Barn swallows eat mosquitoes, too.

Nice heavy duty old wheelbarrow. It like the first one I owned everything was good except it had the thin hard rubber tire that cut into soft ground or was tuff to push in loose gravel,.
