Thanks Keith. We have lemon mint that grows wild here and makes a nice tea. The lemon mint grows all over my back yard like a weed. It is good to use what grows natural, as that is freshest. The aquatic mint should grow good in your pond too and it is very hardy for me and comes back each year nicely.
My yellow flag is growing like crazy now, every day it growss a couple inches. It is hard to believe that it grows to over my head, not to many yellow flags do that, and it think is gets so big cause it is loose and floating, so nothing restricts it's growth. It also gets morning and some hot afternoon sun, but not all day sun. I have been working on the front yard pond, still have lots to do, but we managed to get the garden planted this weekend. I was feeling under the weather today, had a fever and body aches, but it seems to be gone now, that it why I am up late in the night, cause I slept most of the day, just needed a good rest to fight that flu or whatever it was.
The first picture, the big koi in the top pond, swimming in the aquatic mint that just wanders all over the pond.
The next two pictures of the little pond and stream I just added of the front yard pond, kids love it...
Last picture, the middle pond, white flower petals rained all over from the apple trees. Now the choke cherrys will bloom and their flowers are very small, but they have lots of little flowers and when they fall next week, it will look like confetti falling!
