I didn't want to dig a hole. That would be too much work. Hats off to those that dig. So I planted a silk tree. Ok, I had to dig a little, but after so much watering to get the grass to grow, it was a piece of cake.
Silk trees are messy creatures.
They shed leaves, those fluffy flowers and the seed pods that take up root every where, but I love the fern-like filtered shade, the fuzzy pink, lightly scented flowers and the overall tropical look. I couldn't wait any longer and started to surf the internet looking for ideas regarding ponds. I can't tell you how many times I've visited Eric's half-barrel pond page and Jeff Cook's pond page . I liked the whiskey barrel idea. I need to interject another little story here.
