Freeloader! Invader! Free snail(s)! It’s very tiny, but how many more could have come with it on my cambobas? It’s been a month since I bought the plants so it’s very likely this little hitchhiker came with its hundreds of siblings, right?

@JBtheExplorer -- what are they sitting on? The plant, I mean.

Two years ago, last year, and now. Thanks to y’all and your great advice, I don’t think I’ll need the shade cloth this summer. My plants are providing plenty of cover, I haven’t had an algae bloom since the first year.

Just moss that grew on a rock.

After having the rock and roll sitting around for years, finally decided to use it. The bog wall rocks were always knocked in by deer, critters , what ever. So today was the day, do it! I used the ROR to cover the wall and the liner at the back of the bog.

Not the best picture did not think to take one before. You can see the wall with the rocks on it. Always knocked in. Deer love the lilies, drinking, eating in the bog and other critters.

This was after a bit of work, the bog wall is no longer a black liner. No rocks to fall in, now have a nice collection of real flat rocks to use somewhere. You can see them sitting here and there in the bog stacked up. The bog is full of tad poles. No clue what frogs, we have been so up and down in temperature. Have not seen any mating toads, the tads are real tiny to big.

That looks really nice! I looked into buying some of that stuff, but getting it here would have been really expensive. It really does look natural. Interested to hear how well it will hold up to the marauding deer.

Been making an effort to get down to the ponds at least once a week. Still not able to do much but the bog on the koi pond had disappeared under all the watercress that wintered over. Pulled half of it before I thought to take pictures. The stock tank bog on the lily and goldfish pond is covered! Going to just leave that one alone.
