Around the pond
Walking around the ponds this morning I found the daffodils are up several
inches. Nothing else so far. The pansies have been blooming all winter, right through the coldest weather. These will bloom until the heat of May and be replaced with annuals. The water in the ponds has turned green and there's some hair algae. This goes away as soon as the plants start to grow. Since the water usually remains quite clear all summer I no longer use the UV lights. KoiZyme will be added when the water stays around 60F. We haven't seen the turtle since last fall. -- Koi-Lo.... frugal ponding since 1995...

Cool - we dont get a lot of ice and snow but it is too early to see much gowth from the bulbs yet. The fish are out and visible on the nicer days though :-) |

I fed them a few times. The difference in sizes between them is startling! They range from only 1" to about 7" in length. They'll be a year old in April. I'm anxious to get the season started......... :-) -- Koi-Lo.... frugal ponding since 1995...
