      Time to start putting the Impatiens in my stream. Some of my cuttings made it so I may use those along with some new ones. Yay Spring is here!!! Look forward to seeing everyone’s pics this year!

      I am so behind with the Impatiens! I still haven’t even bought any yet. I am going to try to go get some tomorrow. Just not enough hours in a day any more or I am just moving slower now that I am older. Lol

      I finally planted the Impatiens on May 10th. with pics on how I prepared them for the pond. I buy them in the 6 pack.
      I also took pics on them on May 15th. and again on May 26th.
      You can see how they have grown in 16 days. They will soon explode into big plants with lots of blooms all summer long.

      Please post pics of your Impatiens or any plant that you are growing in your pond or waterfall.

      Planted impatiens along the water stream again back in May. Unseasonably, cold nights and overcast days here in the Pacific Northwest limited the growth. Three weeks ago we started getting very hot weather. (For us anyway) and they finally took off. This is probably the best they’ll look from here on out. But enjoying them thoroughly.

      .

      They look beautiful! I love the colors too. Glad it warmed up for you. Hopefully you will have them to enjoy for a couple of
      More months. Please post pics of them before you pull them out for the year. I would love to have a longer stream like yours.

      I will take pics of mine today. They have been through several weeks of high 90’s and are doing ok so far.

      Please post pics of your streams and ponds. I would love to see any new ideas of plants that do well in the water

      Cindy your Impatiens look beautiful. Looks like they get some shade too. What is the low growing green plant underneath them?

      Your koi look bigger than your pretty kitty.

      Here are some pics of mine from a few days ago. They have been through many days of temps in the high 90’s. Unfortunately they get the evening sun. I am glad we all get to enjoy our blooms for at least another two months or so.

      Thank you. Glad I took the pics because Debby is coming my way on Wednesday through the weekend dumping a lot of rain and wind on us.

      It’s funny how when they finally takeoff, they takeoff. Mine have doubled again in size in just the last 2 weeks since I posted the last picture. Today I had to pull some out that were blocking the path across the water stream. Last year they got so big they actually blocked the water stream so I’m taking some precautions this year.

      Oh my how beautiful. I just love your stream. The colors you picked are so pretty! I hope you will be able to enjoy them for the next two months. Thanks for posting your pics.

      Hey, if you still have impatiens in your water stream, it’s time to start removing them if you live in a part of the country where you’re going to get frost. Impatiens apparently turn into a gluey mushy mess if hit by a frost. And if you have a lot of them, you’ll want to start removing them now. Mine got really big and were really hard to dig out of the edge of the water stream. So I did one every couple of days over two weeks. That way I didn’t find myself out on a cold chilly afternoon having to pull them all out at once. Time to sit back and dream about what to plant next year.
