Refreshed my memory and calculations for the full volume of the three holes in our backyard. The next large purchase is going to be the pump. So I need to know how much water it needs to move in order to be a healthy ecosystem.
The full volume of all three holes combined is about 38,000L before rock/medium additions.
The larger bog filter should reduce the need for a larger pump by comparison with our smaller pond. But it still won’t be small.
I can't believe I am admitting this but I traded #biscuits for #crumpets this morning. My #Grandmother would probably clutch her pearls.
Begging forgiveness to all Brits if I am eating the crumpet wrong by adding #preserves / #jam.
What are you doing on this Saturday in June?
A young rabbit sitting in my backyard
We don’t feed it, but it feels almost like our pet
I was within a yard of it for a few minutes, but my slightest movement sent it hopping away

Can I stop #drones from playing peek-a-boo over my backyard? The article is like a bad joke with no punchline: "Your browser does not support #Javascript."
Apparently, the only thing you can stop is reading this waffle.

Before it was a cool #trend called #DinosaurTime, I remember fondly one misty January night in the #BayArea, when I was having a soak in a friend's #backyard hottub.
The magnolias were blooming in the night sky & last year's #kale was still going strong. I leaned over the edge & grabbed myself a giant leaf to munch on, as part of my #spa #ritual.

Our #strawberry patch in the #backyard #garden was impacted badly by an eight month long drought last year but some plants did survive to #fruit this season. We probably won't get many #strawberries to make preserves this season but the plants should be able to send out runners and repopulate the patch. The leafcutter #bees will also help with production. #gardening #gardeningmastodon
The black #currant bush I planted in my #backyard #garden is coming along well. I planted this here in #newjersey #USA so I could have fresh #blackcurrants to use for making #Irish sodabread. I am of Irish #American ancestry and that would please me greatly.

It's Summer! And what better way to start the summer than a Summer Barbecue cooked by Tiffany's Daddy, Trent!
