backyard pond by massdistraction
Spring is here and what better opportunity to spruce up your garden for the season ahead? If you have cleared out the clutter and tended to your lawn but you still feel like your garden is missing a special something, a pond could complete your outdoor space. Here is a stress free guide to creating a pretty pond.
Location Location Location
The first step to creating a pond in your garden is to choose a suitable location. It is wise to choose an area that is in the shade to provide your fish with cover from the sun’s rays. Ponds make a great focal point in your garden and therefore are well suited to a central location. The most important factor when choosing a pond location is that it is in view from your house. A pond is a beautiful feature that should not be hidden away but put in prize position.

Newer varieties of lilacs, such as the Descanso Hybrids (see image above), thrive in areas where winters are relatively warm and do not require winter chilling to produce abundant highly fragrant blooms in the spring. So if you live in a warmer climate or your temperature Zone shows it is now warmer where you live, you might want these lilac hybrids.
Descanso lilacs were developed to bloom in very mild winter areas . The Descanso lilac provides the same abundance of showy flower, superb when cut, as do other lilacs.

lilac with butterfly by andrealeev
I have planted all my lilacs near some other big shrub or tree because my property is mostly wooded or has something growing on it- I have little choice of where to plant plants that I want. I know that lilacs do NOT like their roots crowded; but I have few options. I had planted the lilac that is blooming near the Rose of Sharon when they were little, so though they are all huge, perhaps the roots would have had a better chance to establish themselves when the shrubs were all small.
The lilac that has a few flowers is near a crape myrtle and who knows what size the crape myrtle roots are (compared to the Rose of Sharon roots.) I do wish someone would do a study of roots of plants and have diagrams and size charts so we gardeners can know what is underground as well as what we can see.
