Check out this little water garden we've been working on. Last year we got the barrel on sale and plugged the hole in the bottom. Then we won some goldfish at the fair and put them in there. This past winter we scored a couple of water plants at a super discount at the garden center and dropped them in the pond. 
Now that it's warming up everything is coming together and the pond has a new life to it!
