pond report
Since my adventure in appendix land (an adventure I do not recommend!) the poor ponds have been neglected all to heck. This weekend I did get eldest son out to remove as much water lettuce and water hyacinth as he could. Four water lettuce had multiplied into bazillions, far out growing the water hyacinth that went in later and didn't get the prime sunny spots. The pond is crystal clear to the bottom. But one koi has some raised scales on his side. ak! First time ever I've had a fish show any problem like that. Unfortunately due to my continued wonkiness there is going to be nothing we can do for him but hope he gets better or remove him if he doesn't make it. :-((( The poor lilies are finally getting to see the sun, they were grown over with water lettuce. Remember the island, because I could not keep up with replacing evaporating water the mini cattails got all brown. The creeping jenny is going fine. We'll probably have to lower Atlantis next spring. Also the dang giant grasses have fallen over into the pond. argh!!! Plans are to have son still try and get more of the floating tropicals out and weed the Frog Bog. DH and I are making plans for spring cleaning and reducing the stocking level. We want to make the pond even more self sustaining though we don't plan on having a month like this again! Both DH and I had surgery (DH on his knee) even Rosie the dog had her pedicure that she has to have knocked out as she will not let anyone trim her nails. kathy :-) www.blogfromthebog.com this week's entry - water boatman Pond 101 page for new pond keepers ~ http://hometown.aol.com/ka30p/myhomepage/garden.html |
