I ❤️ My Pond! I love everything about it! The sound, the plants, the Koi, the dogs drinking from it, the cooling effect of sitting by it, how it makes me feel! The last couple of days Ive had a friend out who is a YouTube Vlogger. We have gone around to different projects that I have designed and built and video’d them… Including the underwater aspect, all I can say is WOW! There is a whole other world down there looking back at us that is really never seen. The world that our Koi live in. It’s literally the other side of the looking glass… Here are a few super cool images that I know you are gonna Love ❤️
The underwater world of an Eco-System Water Garden is pretty magical huh 😊
Y’all have a great afternoon!

Hot! No rain! Sticky! What a great week!😊 I just finished my morning watering chores and am about to fix breakfast for my mother in law, Kathy. Pancakes 🥞 Steak 🥩 and Eggs 🍳! Its her Birthday! Happy Birthday to the best Mother-In-Law you could ask for ❤️
On top of that, later today I have a VIP guest coming by to do a little Vlogging 📽 I’ll talk more about that in future blogs and maybe a ‘Vlog’ or two… But, for a little teaser, he’s one of the biggest YouTube stars on the Planet 🌎 and he is coming to showcase my Nursery and some of my Waterfalls 💥 He is also an old friend.
Now I’m off to the kitchen! Breakfast wont wait!
“The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.”

Happy Birthday Kathy!

I have been absent from my Blog for a couple of weeks now. I was surprised at the # of people that sent comments to me about my absence… The messages were mostly concern that something was wrong since I write something every day… Thanks for that! But, No, there was nothing wrong! I abstained from posting in order to be totally present during a LONG road trip with my wife Jo. We were on a business, training, buying… ‘adventure’, that took us all across the South! Down thru Mississippi, across the Panhandle of Florida, along the Florida Springs trail, across to the Atlantic side and all the way down historic Coastal Highway A1A to the end of the road “Mile Marker 0” in Key West! Then back up through central Florida into Georgia exploring Nurseries and HUGE Ornamental Plant Growing operations! We even spent the night in Greg Allmans bedroom and visited the graves of some of my (and probably your) musical hero’s… Climbed a mountain, and finally ended up back home in the middle of an Ice 🧊 Storm ⛈!!!
Thank God that we were spared from a repeat of 94 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 But it was a shock to the system to come back to heavy winds from the north and 18 degree temps 🥶
Over the next few days I will share some pictures and stories of our recent travels and some news of things to come 😊
To boil it down – I’m back & I am excited about 2022!
And, I’m so glad to be back home again!!!

It’s Summertime and the livin’ is easy 😊 Your Koi are happy and your Pond is a magical thing! ❤️ Ahhh, the soothing sights & sounds… BUT, what if it quits running? What if your Pond Pump Stops… Believe me when I tell you – it’s NEVER at an opportune moment! No indeed! You’re either out of town, or it’s scorching HOT and your fish are gasping for air… Your Pond Pump Never goes out at an opportune moment!
Your Pump is the heart of your Pond! When it stops running, it’s important to have a backup plan! Many people keep a small pump that can be placed in shallow water to “flash the surface”, this will help to keep oxygen in the water while you get a replacement Pond Pump to power your Waterfall.
Many of my clients also have an aeration system in their Pond. This helps to oxygenate the water and it’s unlikely that the pump and the aeration system will fail at the same time. I recommend powering them on separate circuits in case of GFCI interruptions.
Whether you take care of your own Pond Maintenance or one of our Maintenance Technicians takes care of your Pond, it’s important to have a plan and to be ready “Just in case”… I have a complete maintenance service available to help you and your Pond and we stock pumps and aeration systems at our Nursery and Garden Center. Simply call 731-424-2206 for assistance. We stock most pumps and aeration systems and will get you fixed right up!
I hope this little bit of info on pumps and ponds was helpful! Like the old man says, “Knowing is half the battle”!
Happy Pondering!

The beauty of a Garden 🪴 in the Spring and Summer is a given. But this evening as I was walking up the hill I just happened to look up and Boom 💥 The moon 🌙 the bare birch trees, the lights and the sound of the Waterfalls… Even on a night in January, I had to stop and enjoy the beauty. Now, I’m thinking a fire 🔥 is in order …
Have a great evening!
