Default What did you get done this weekend?

Jim began to feed the koi this week. They LOVE that idea. The water
is at 55 degrees.

Jim thought the racoons had taken the goldfish he had put in a berm
pond for the winter (his best ones) in the hope that they would breed
this spring. He was pretty bummed out at the thought that he had put
them up there and they thus became racoon chow. Today he was clearing
the top of the pond and saw two of the fish he put up there. They
were good at hiding from racoons and from him! He is so pleased.

The lilies are sending new leaves, the duckweed is multiplying like
mad on the berm and the hyacinths are starting to grow. Spring is
definitely here.

No green water yet.
