I have been lurking at this forum for a long time but not posting. I thought I'd start off with showing off the stream we put in last summer. Of course I am already planning to change it. I am adding a skimmer next spring so it is eaiser to keep clean.
These pictures were taken soon after I got it all replanted so some of the plants are in poor shape from moving them and I hadn't mulched some of the newly added plants yet. I lifted some of the daylilies several times. I took a picture from both ends. I had a dry bed stream here for several years. This area was once a drainage ditch but I put in raised beds on each side of it which redirected the runoff so it was no longer needed to drain the area. It is about 30 feet long.

Very beautiful! It looks like a hidden oasis. I could sit out there all day.
