The Great Lotus Race
I went and checked on the lotus before the big storm hit last night. To
recap, I have 4 tubors planted about about two feet down, and one tubor planted four feet down. One of the four planted two feet down has broken the surface of the water. The tubor planted four feet down has done the same, and one non-scientific measurement shows that the tubor planted four feet down, is in the lead for size and length. -- BV. www.iheartmypond.com |

Are all tubers the same variety of lotus?

I tossed them into a 30 gallon rubbermaid full of mud and water in preparation for planting. One thing led to another, and I ended up tossing the whole thing into the pond. This year, I split the resultant tubors and planted those. -- BV. www.iheartmypond.com |

C'mon, dang it!! snip The tubor 4 feet down is planted in about 3-4 inches of the muck I dug out of the rubbermaid container from last year. It's a combo of local mud and mulm. That tubor is in a round pot that is 18-10 inches in diameter. The tubor two feet down is planted in the same good but in a 3 foot long narrow window box. -- BV. www.iheartmypond.com |
