    I don't know much about bogs. I can't even have much water out aside from the pond, which has a pump of course, due to the tons of mosquitoes attacking me. They seem glued to my storm door, just waiting for a victim!

    I don't know anything about blogs, but I look forward to seeing pics when you get it all planted.

    Brenda, get some of those mosquito fish. They have kept the skeeters out of our little water garden just fine.

    PG, I will post on each step of this garden.

    Sorry, no clue. I've never done a bog. I don't know anything about carniverous plants. I've never even been to Texas. Probably not your go-to-gal for a question of this nature. (but if you ever want to hear about driving in snow, call me first!) I look forward to seeing your progress though!

    Hi cinj, we hardly ever get snow. We do get some ice on the roads almost every year. Can you help with that?

    Ooh! I have one: how about Payrus sedge? I got some for my tub water gardens, and it's really cool. (Okay, NOT native, but still cool. :)
