Spring In Dallas
Hi, Everyone.
I wanted to let everyone know I'm still here and have been in lurk mode the last few months. Work, kids, and household responsibilities have kept me busy. I'm glad to see the regulars are doing well and still here. In addition, I would like to extend a warm welcome those new to the group. IMO, this newsgroup is the best source for pond info on the net. A special "get well" to my friend, Jerri. Glad to see you're back and sharing your wisdom. Hang in there, kiddo! My pond and veggie filter survived the mild winter in great shape. Due to protection from wind and close proximity to my home, the water temp never went below 45 and pumps were left running throughout the winter months. In fact, one lily had leaves all fall/winter and several other plants stayed green. Leaves and mulm were kept to a minimum and fish were not fed when the temp dropped below 50. I've done some minor spring maintenance and started feeding MediKoi once the water temps stayed consistently above 53 degrees. I continued this diet for 3 weeks and am now feeding hi-protein growth pellets. Spawning activity is evident with the two Sarassas Comets, but the Koi aren't old enough to do so. Maybe next year. My gravel bottom pond is off to a very good start. I'll be doing both local pond tours this year and may make one of the Houston tours. as well. I'll be sure to take pics to share with the group. In addition, I've added a few things to my pond and will share them soon. I'll take some pics in the next few days and post them to the website. Happy Ponding!

Jim your pond is just unbelievably gorgeous!!!!! I am quite envious!! lol
Can i ask you what was your waterfall made out of? The picture of your waterfall as you put it in looks like it is a preformed waterfall. I dont think i have seen such an item around here. I will have to look more closely. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pond pics. Cathy "Jim" wrote in message news:8C88257DDCE6DDE7.B2E5D1120ADDB747.74D51363A1C ... Hi, Everyone.

Jim,
Thanks for reporting in. Trying to explain your veggie filter to people sometimes goes right over their heads. I sent your website off to the 200 some folks I now have on my JJ's Ponding Tidbit list. Should save me about 36,000 words, right? ;o) ~ jan Hi, Everyone. I wanted to let everyone know I'm still here and have been in lurk mode the last few months.

Trying to explain your veggie filter to people
sometimes goes right over their heads. I would think explaining my veggie filter would be easy for you. After all, I learned quite a bit from you and some of the others here. :) Jim Zone 8a - Dallas, Texas Pond, Veggie Filter, Pond Maintenance & Pond Tour Pics: http://community.webshots.com/user/dallas75248 |
