Nax's Bill's pond and SoPo garden

Created on Thursday, 03 Jul 08

I gave the pond to my husband for Father’s Day in 2007. I like to joke that I gave him 100 hours of backbreaking labor for Father’s Day. Nga Jee dubbed the fish Pope John Fish, Moby, and Sourpus (Sourpus is the big orange one in the photo) Sadly, they all died the summer of 2008. This garden area has now been expanded to include the former “Areas 11-15” since these two areas work together. Last two photos show this area, we’ll call it “SoPo” (South of Pond)
