Has anyone heard from members CliffandJoann from Long Island, New York?

I was pulling out leaves from the bog yesterday. I swear there were a billion of them( yes I counted). Once I got past 100 I knew it was a billion so that's what I going with. Trying to get all of the marsh bentony out of the pond and bog. Got my skippy filter tore out last weekend and moved my waterfall over. Got the new PVC pipe ran and new ball valves put in.

I have my cattails .....................

Are your cattails wild native plants or from nurseries? Like many native plants here wild cattails are protected.

Forgot to say I would love to have cattails in our pond. Are any available by mail order?

florida hill nursery.com did sell them and not sure anymore .I bought the mini ones from them and I think they were 5.95 and paid shipping for one plant and got shipping free on the other plants .I never put them in the pond this year they were in the stock tank .Next year they will go in the pond after i divide them up .

SERIOUSLY???? Around here we have thousands of acres of nothing but cattails, and the damn things pop up anywhere they can find a little moisture.

They have them here also but there areas are hard to get to and not the safest places ,snakes and very slippery and lots of mosquito's .I bought them online it was much easier than risking life and limb ,don't want a hospital bill :razz: .Would be willing to send Haro out there to get them for me :razz: :razz: :arrow:

Ive only read a few threads so far, and havent seen any posts from them yet... I did have a facebook friend (from Long Island) post last night that she had just gotten her power back.

I do it every spring, Sissy! Pot up a dozen or so nice, big plants and sell them at the garden centre to folks who don't want the hassle of fighting off water moccasins, rattlesnakes, and alligators to get their plants. :yikesu:

After researching protection of cattails I find myself mistaken. Cattails are not a protected plant in Texas. I believe I confused the protection of cattails with protection of natural wetlands.

Found this possibly helpful web page regarding DIY hurricane cleanup.

I believe your right JW, and the mini ones if I remember correctly.

May I ask to whom you were addressing your comment? I ask because I too would like a couple of cattails.
