Too cold in Miami??
I'll sell you my place in Florida real cheap. Hate the place!! I'd much
rather spend the winters back home where it has been known to get 25 below at times. You like mildew, fire ants, humidity? That's Florida. "John Lange" wrote in message t...

It will be in the 70's all week (air temp), and the pond water temp got back up to 55* yesterday and is still climbing. Now I know that sounds good to a lot of you, but when the cold fronts move in, the temp drops alarmingly. We can be pushing 80 one day and within 3 days have a hard freeze. Our poor plants don't know whether to bloom or die! At least when your weather gets cold, it STAYS that way - in the long run, it's easier on everything. Happy Holidays!

Any ideas? I don't see any signs of critters. |

I know not to feed with water temps 50* or lower, but what about when we get weather like this and my pond has warmed to 58*, with a forecast of a good week ahead, do I feed them again? Or just leave them alone. Remember I only have goldfish, not koi. Thanks everyone for the good info, I'm going out to feed my fish for the last time this year! HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!!

Too cold in Miami??
Well I guess I don't mind fire ants, cause I've learned to stay away from
them. I don't hate humidity, it reminds me how nice fall and spring are here. Mildew sucks, but is certainly controlable with proper construction methods. So where's the place and how much?? Let us know soon, we're thinking be out. We just can't decide whether to go fishing or sailing this afternoon. We sometimes spend new years day canoeing across the grasses in the everglades. No one is around and you see for miles. It's cool (70's) with light breezes. Now that's Florida. If you need visuals check out clyde butcher's website. "Broomhilda" wrote in message k.net...
