Did very little this year, some pruning, threw a bag of compost around and pretty much left it. But yeah, it looks good. Just wait until the mustard starts flowering!

Lovely garden.
I love honeysuckle, we used to have it all along the fence line but sadly it was taken down this year.
When I go fishing I just place a sharp rock in the water and sit there waiting for all the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Brutal honesty will be shown on this screen.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Tolerance is a great thing to have, so is the ability to shut up.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Eventually we will, it's one of the few plants my husband and I agree on.

Well, this bowl got way out of hand with 2 ft of mint sticking out of it and the forget-me-not tkaing over. So, a couple of weeks ago when it all had a good run my wife caught the shrimps and took the bowl apart to rescape it to something she liked.
Basically still a walstad bowl, unheated, unfiltered and 4 shrimp being quite content with their restyled home.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

This is such an amazing idea Dutchie! I would love to try this. Although we can't get shrimp in NZ I think a few Ramshorn snails would be happy there.

What kind of shrimp? Is it not too cold for neocaradina? Bowl looks very nice!

Room temp hasn't dropped below 18 yet and that seems fine with the shrimp.

Ah right, ok. Will you heat it in winter? A lamp alone might do the job.

Haven't decided yet. We may move it to a location closer to the central heating.
