Digging For Gardens and Ponds

In April of 2008, as the frost slowly left the ground (and I mean slowly), my husband Jim began his quest of digging the 2 Caribbean ponds and while he had the 'digger' in his possession (he had so much fun) it made sense to create my mounded flowerbeds.

Is it allowed to have fun using spray paint? We did. Prior to the digging, we purchased orange spray paint to outline our 2 ponds and outline the shape of all flowerbeds.

This ingenious idea came from Jim. In doing so, we realized that our larger pond would have been far too large and definitely unmanageable. We lobbed off at least 8 feet from the length and 3 feet from the width. Much better.
