I know spring has come to my neck of the city when the Cherry Blossoms start blooming.
There’s a lot of action in my neighbor Bob’s urban garden too.
Turtle is waking up from a long winter’s nap, and the koi fish are swimming around in the sidewalk pond trying to avoid getting eaten. Hey, turtles get hungry! Let’s hope Philadelphia’s water emergency is resolved before it’s time to clean and refill the the tank.
The crocuses are peeping up in Bob’s garden. What more proof could we need?
The bigs news is that Bob built a new Koi pond this year. The other big news is that Turtle has a brand new perch and a big pot of water hyacinth to munch on. He seems happy and does not appear to be eating the new guppies that Bob has added to the pond.
Bob has added new plants, but think he is still deciding on the final design of the garden. He also has a little collection of plants that people are free to take if they want. While I’m sure Boris would like a plant to chew on, I think I will pass on the offer.
Here are some pictures.
Enjoy the Koi pond!
