I always enjoy looking for a good #Throwbackthursday pic to reflect on. This one today really fits the bill –
Little Paw is still a VIP in our daily lives all these years later… I Love my pets! and I Love Throwback Thursday!
Who knows, you might decide to adopt a pet after the Pond Tour as well?
Have a great #throwbackthursday !

What a Beautiful, Hot 🥵 Day! Early Summer in the South… As you may, or may not know, we are getting ready for our annual Summer Pond Tour. My Nursery and home is on the Pond Tour, with several other properties, so I’ve been out in the evenings and early morning hours straitening up a bit, adding a plant here and there and doing some photography. I thought I would share one of my Water Gardens with you that is on the Pond Tour. This is a late evening shot right at dark, probably my favorite time of the day this time of the year.
This little Pond sits right between the house and the Koi Shack. There is a Blue Stone patio on one side and a bench on the other… Perfect 😊
I hope you are having the best Waterfall Wednesday ever! #waterfallwednesday
PS: Come by during business hours and see Grandmas’s Pond in person. Or, come see it (and Many others ) Saturday, June 25th. on our Upcoming Summer Pond Tour! Heres a short video with info for ya’ 👇🏻
Have a Great Day!

Good Morning! 🌞 Spring is here and the Koi are loving it! Your pond has been cleaned for the season and the Waterfall is flowing 💦 My Pond Tip today touches every aspect of your Water Garden from water clarity to fish health! And it also has a built in insurance policy for your “Finned Friends”…
Q : Does your pond have an Aeration System?
Many of my clients have an aeration system in their Pond as well as a pump and Waterfall. Why? The Aeration System helps to oxygenate and circulate the water! And its cheap insurance! As it’s very unlikely that the pump and the aeration system would fail at the same time leaving your pond and your Fish with no circulation!
Whether you take care of your own Pond Maintenance or one of our Maintenance Technicians takes care of your Pond for you, it’s important to have a plan and to be ready “Just in case”… I have a complete maintenance service available to help you with 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 ‘Pond Tip’ helps 😊
Its Spring Time in Tennessee!
Happy Pondering!

I try to post good seasonal info to help you with your Ponds and Water Gardens. Water Temps impact feeding times for our Koi, which makes it a very important thing to keep up with! Sure enough, the days are getting longer and it’s almost that time again!
“I’ve been keeping a close eye 👁 my Pond Thermometer 🌡 these last few weeks! The temperature of the water has been steadily rising as the days slowly get longer… Today my water temp is 45 degrees F. What is yours?
I will start the feeding season with Cool Temp Koi Food when the water temp has stabilized at over 50 + degrees for several days. The “rule of 50” I like to call it 😊
So, lets wrap this little Pond Tip up…
The Rule of 50 = Let the water temp stabilize for a week or so at 50+ degrees Fahrenheit before you start to feed your koi this Spring. AND, when you do start back to feeding, use a quality, Cool Season Koi Food!
PS: Don’t over feed!
Happier days are on the way!
Spring is Coming!
Happy Pondering!

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!!!
