» Joni Rose - a little detour to garden ponds

Have you ever been to Seattle? Seattle is very close to me and so our weather tends to be similar. I love the summers here. We do get some hot days but just enough and the humidity is bareable. I don't have air conditioning in my car or house - I just open windows and doors to get a cross breeze going and use fans when we have our hot days.

So yes, I would call our summers mild and our winters mild. The hard part for some is the rain and grey skys. I love it! When it rains I find I am really productive on tasks that requires thinking like writing!

Yes, there are large slabs of rock in the pond that the fish can hide behind. I like to give them some places to hide.

The great news is, I am seeing two leaf seedlings everywhere!! Whooo Hooo! It is so exciting!!

Plant swap? Never heard of it. Is it all for free or is there selling going on? I'll have to try and find out if it happens around here too.

Nova Scotia is at the other side of Canada from me (East Coast, I'm on the West) so the climate is very different. My sisters live in Toronto so they see lots of snow and cold in the winter and brutally humid summers. It will be interesting to see how the roll and grow works in their climate.
