A diversion...into a bog

     Note: I will be traveling for the next three weeks, so my next post will not appear until late in October.

     Just about 30 feet behind the new back lawn and gardens, I built a bog garden this summer.  It used to be a small reflecting pool, only about five feet by 12 feet and a foot deep.  I filled most of it with ground, leaving only a small pool for holding about four inches of water.  I have lots of Equisetum (Horsetail) and a lot of other water-loving plants.
