Sunday in the garden

 My shade house has become a jungle, I plan to transform it as soon as I am finished with the house renos.

 Milkweeds (asclepias) waiting to be transplanted for the monarch butterfly.

I am paying more attention to the garden now the house renos are almost finished. On Saturday my hubby and some helpers drained the round pond and cleaned it.

 See the two albino sharks and Moby Dick in the middle swimming together.

It was a right mess and had been so for several months. The pump was not working properly and hubby took it to the repair shop. The shop tried opening it and broke the case housing the pump because the screws were fused together. It is still there waiting to find a similar used housing. So last month Hubby went to visit his mother in Miami and brought back a new pump.  Now the pump and filter are up and running again with a clean pond to boot.
Have a great week my friends!
