It's always darkest before dawn, so if you're going to
steal your neighbor's fish, that's the time to do it.

Sorry...my first season...I just dumped a couple of bills for my plants, and
I still don't have enough. I'd love to get my hands on some more WH and
Iris.

P.S. Has anyone ever 'gathered' pond grasses, cattails, etc. from local
ponds? We have a lot of run off 'tanks' around highways here. They are all
stocked full of catttails. I am thinking of aquiring some.

I just got in some GREAT looking WH. I hope it doesn't char like everything
else in this heat!!!!!

I have just one. My neighbor gave it to me and told me to buy no more,
because it will replicate like crazy. I am impatient. I want my clay out,
and my plants in. *laugh*

Yes, but......
soak them in a solution of pp (somebody post the concentration). *Wild* snails
can carry parasites.
Also be careful around any area with beavers in residence.
I've contacted our state wildlife agency and here they don't mind folks taking
a plant, a tadpole, a clam or two but they don't want wholesale digging going
on.

Hi, June.... I'd love some more hyacinth. I've got a 4000 gallon koi pond
where the 25 I bought just aren't doing well, I think the lack of sun in
Connecticut has a lot to do with it, and now with the new turtle pond, I
could certainly use more. Let me know how much you want and what method of
payment, and I'll get right on it. And don't be afraid to throw in a
little extra for your labor...... I really appreciate the offer! If you
want to e-mail me,
Sue

I second that. I have a very understocked VF, and would love some more WH.
I'd also pay postage a bit for some.

They will never do well in a koi pond. The koi eat the roots. I grow mine out
in the goldfish pond or veg. filter then put them in the koi pond for a week
then back into the other pond. Jerri

That's what I want them for. The VF!

BV,

If you would like some water celery, I have lots and would be glad to send
you a box or so for postage costs. My WH are not yet big enough to send you
any. I also have parrots feather that I am composting.

Hi Jerri:
The hyacinths did well the last two years in the koi pond, so either they
just developed a taste for them this year, or it's the lousy weather. In
either case, I plan to do the same as you by keeping the new ones both in
the veggie filter and in the new turtle pond and rotate them into the koi
pond for a few days at a time. Thanks.
Sue

No.... don't do it - I LOVE parrot feathers! I go out every day and count
how many new heads I can find on my sorry looking parrot feathers..... and I
can only hope that they will start to see some sun around here soon so they
can multiply and grow like crazy! Problem with Connecticut ponds is that
our ponding season is so short, we never get the chance to have any plants
become invasive. If you're willing to ship some parrot feathers to
Connecticut, I'll gladly pay the postage!
