What does your pond look like ... Today?

[Kimberlin]

My pond this morning in Sandusky Ohio. Still waiting for frogs to show up at my pond for the first time.

I hope they are not showing up because i have so many of THESE!

Uh oh they would be wise to not show up me thinks
You need some snake deterrent around your pond area. Keep those snakes in the garden tho as they are a good thing.

I'm leaving for vacation for a week, so I added this little guy to the pond to feed the fish. Amazon reviews say this POND feeder isn't waterproof, so I put a bag over it. I tested it out last night, and it fed great. It'll feed the times a day while I'm gone.

Max, The fish are going to be happy to have that thing, and may develop a habit of hanging around that feeder waiting for next meal.... fish catch on quick and are not dumb!

JB I see you are a true Explorer and very inventive too, going where no pond person has ever thought to go before!! Tanks for the underwater Pictures and lovely video!!

Max, I would be concerned about the plastic bag causing the container of food to sweat and possibly causing the food to mold.

Max wondering too about the spout where the food comes out if it gets wet won't the food stick to it and create a dam? Wonder if you should build a cover out of something to keep the whole thing dry.

Well, my pond is a mess today A big branch came off a tree in a storm and came crashing into the pond....ripping through lilies and my pretty floating plant nets

 

[j.w]

Bummer Tula! Now you got some fixin to do. You'll have it back up and looking nice again in not time.

I built this little guy very recently in the back of my yard just to attract frogs.

Your plants are really growing great and pond is looking good Rob. Your dogs are sure posers. Get them some sunglasses

Both great thoughts... but I put it in hours before leaving. I'm relaxing at the beach with a cold beverage in hand. Worrying about my pond is not on the agenda for today!!

And even if it clogs your fish will be fine w/o food. I didn't feed my goldfish for years. They ate whatever fell or flew over the pond just fine. And they will be really glad to see you when you return home

 

[max384]

Yep. Maybe if the feeder gets clogged it will be a good thing... they'll do a better job of cleaning up the algaewhile I'm gone!
