roll call

I've been mostly lurking for several years.
Widowed, retired, proud grandfather "Poppy," all in less than a year.
The pond in question is about 2/3 acre, with hardy lilies potted in plastic
pails.
I'm trying to return to lotus growing after a couple of down years; just 1
of 3 new plants "took," despite treatment that worked fine in the past.
The pond is infested with large-mouth bass and Walter, a _very_ well-fed
koi.
If I have something to contribute, I'll delurk, though I generally take the
advice of, I think, Mark Twain: "Better to remain silent and be thought a
fool than speak up and remove all doubt."
