Wow, what a year! Starting the year with record snowfall amounts for the winter, cooler than normal temperatures for the spring, and now flooding that nobody has ever seen around here.
With all that, people have experienced a variety of issues with their ponds. All in all though, it seems as though everyone is doing well now. The warmer weather and sunny days has really made a difference. The ponds are now balanced out for the season and the aquatic plants (after the slow start) are showing their annual growth potential and their beauty. The main one right now is that the water lilies are really beginning to bloom consistently.
Now get outside, sit by your pond and have a great summer day!

Sure was a rough start, but my pond and aquatic plants are also looking great! I have fertilized my water lily's a couple of times now, trimmed back a few of the dead leaves and spent buds, and my water is still crystal clear. My fish are begging for food every time I walk past the pond, but I have held off on feeding them every time like I have done in the past.
