Ponds in Canada

[callingcolleen1]

Thanks JW, for the info! I don't have a mouse, just a touch screen tablet. (Small tablet that folds up and you store on the shelf with the books) I found the edit button one to many times too and that is my problem, somehow during the edit I end up double posting.
I get it right some day... Sun was coming out, now I see clouds again. Birds here are singing up a storm, have been for days, had a real pretty finch with a orange head come and bath in the front pond. Love the outside, love all the birds, would love a little sunshine about now too....

I have enjoyed your pics and commentary in this thread. You are so very informative for natural ponders. I eagerly await your next installment. I will have to check out some sedges/grasses for my pond. It is so very green at this point and maybe some sedges will help. I do not want to do anything chemical,wanting to keep my pond more natural...I just want to be able to see my fish other than when I am feeding them! I don't mind amber water, but this green is getting me down. Last year we were not as green as this year, of course, this year we warmed up to hot too very fast. We have oodles of fish and one bull frog that today was croaking! Love the pond sounds.

I have the marsh marigold, it has not done well this year at all, it is growing, but not a lot of flowers

Hi everybody, just got off work, it's our long weekend here in Canada.

JW I'm thinking it is the weather, it was unusually warm Jan+Feb, then got cooler. My marsh Marigold usually blooms in March and April, sometimes right after the ice melts, but this year it bloomed late, and I only got 4 blooms. Now that the sun is getting high in the sky, (summer solstice) it will start to go dormant, and appear dead sometimes. This is normal, marsh marigolds are very cold weather plants. Think of marsh marigolds as a pansy, nice for early spring color, but when the weather gets hot they dye back.

Got to go for a bit, must tend to all those pretty yellow flowers growing in the grass!
Happy Long Weekend Canadians!
