I can only assume your dog was too exhausted from helping you with all of that work, that she was sound asleep and could not appear in any of the pictures.

Wife also sees it improving now instead of just dirt everywhere. With any luck I will have the gazebo structure built in the next month or so. I'm excited.

If so, it could cover the whole thing in a blink of an eye, certainly before the summer is over...like plum full - side to side. Maybe the same thing for the Water lettuce, if that's what's in pic #2. Fish on!, Noel

I'm hoping they take off some 4 sure. I only put in 5 clumps of each of those. If they get to outta control I will remove some. Same with the lilly pads. Fella who sold them 2 me said they will be yellow flowers. I cant remember what he called the top plant. The people who say I can't do it can just sit the @^#% down and watch me.
