Update from my #pondrium (pond+aquarium)

So, taking care of the pond has been easy lately,  the water Lilly Colorado, being a hardy one, gives me no mess but pleasant flowers. The fishes too looks happy.

Re-Located and re- designed: My Lil pond to now pondrium..(Pond+Aquarium)

Hey all,

Lately I got super busy with my photography adventures, my work and the relocating in india left me with no time to login to my blog. All settled and here I am back to share my redesigned aquarium + Pond..

The idea behind.

In my previous place i had a good terrace for gardening but now with two balcony I had no other option than planing small space gardening with my current (huge) set of container. As the current balcony faces east,  so its really hard to deal with, direct sunlight form algae. Even though the water is clear, I need to clean the glass from inside two times a week. But rest its relaxing to watch my fish and the Lilly every morning sipping a cup of tea ..

Without delaying.. Here is my new improvised pond+aquarium..

I tried with different container and at last i settled up with the custom glass container. I have different colored guppies and gold fish, with adding filter, it may look like aquarium but for me its more water container. I have peach water Lilly.. Planning to add one more container in my balcony.

Do share your design if possible.

Happy Gardening,
Choyee 

Why Gardening

I was wondering what can make us come out of stress and smile, what can help us to live healthy but in more simpler way. The answer came out too simple, thats your garden.

It doesn't matter how long your day may go or how much stress you underwent at your work, when u are back home just watering your plants talking to them and taking care of small things vaporizes the stress and pain.

I started doing gardening when i was a kid. I used to spend lot of time with my granny in our big garden. We used to sit watch the plants for insects, removing dry leaves, putting manure and many more small things. Those days garden is a must in the house 'front yard' that is what people call now. We used to share plants from our neighbors and friends. I never realized when this activity became a hobby and till today i spend the same time alone though and some time when i visit my granny. 

Gardening is the one simple way keeps you healthy and make your living place pleasant. Coming days i would like to share my ideas and interest specially with container, terrace and patio garden. Hope all goes well..
