today turned out to be lovely and I finally got the two water plants into the pond…

I pulled out the two floating baskets and put the elephant ear into one with some hostas that Hilda the Gardener dug up for me last week…

this container went into the waterfall area…

the papyrus went into the second container and I dug up a bit of creeping Jenny and creeping Charlie to add to it…

this one went into the main pond…

they look great and I hope the plants all thrive in their new homes;-)…

and I finally started to empty the bathtub pond… still lots to do to finish up that one…

stuck…

after the boys left yesterday, I brought in the plants which they had removed from the pond…

took a while, but eventually I got them all into the tank in a way that made me happy, although the tank looks very full…

not sure if they will last the winter, but it is worth a try as they are expensive and the lilies produced a number of blooms which doesn’t always happen, lol…

once the two pails of fish were in the house, I waited for a number of hours so that they could acclimate to the water temperature in the house…

when I finally poured them into the tank most of them did fine… but one of the biggest ones got stuck between a plant and rock and didn’t seem to be able to get out from the spot… I was very worried and it took about half an hour before it moved out from the tight space…

today they seem happy, but maybe a little crowded;-)…

and I enjoyed having company to talk to throughout the day;-)…
