But you just keep on...
What an unpleasant surprise when I went outside this morning. There was
a very 'nice' storm here in Colorado Springs last night and the drumming of the rain was a great sleep aid. However when I went out side there were leaves all over the place and as I checked on the small water lily pads I could see where there much have been hail last night as well. Looked all around and saw shredded plants every where. :-( :-( . Ever the taro leaves were gone as well as some of the parrots feather. So today, 'we' start over. Fortunately it is the Pikes Peak Water Garden Society annual plant sale. :-) :-) . That's where I will be them morning! Have a great one, all! W. Dale |

The lily and taro will recover, as I am sure the PF will. PF is kind of hard to destroy. My leaves on the plants in and around our pond had been shredded quite a few times earlier this year, and now its next to impossible to even tell. Leave the plants alone, and don't trim the leaves off until they start to die or turn yellow/brown. Its all part of ponding.......

WH $4 ea., PF (per bunch) $4, Water Lettuce $4 ea. Not the best prices, but it is our annual fundraiser sale so I really did not mind paying that price. It is all in the veggie filter and now I am waiting for the warm weather to return. :-) . Yes, I am sure the shredded plants will come back sometimes this summer. Our ponding season is just so short out here in the cooler climates. I am sure things should be pretty good by the middle or end of June. Shoot, I might even have clear water by then! LOL :-P Great day all! W. Dale |

But if it's a fund-raiser sale..... It is all in the veggie filter and now I am waiting for the warm weather to return. :-) . ## This year the parrot's feather completely took over the veggie filter-settling tank. Only some Pickerel weed is thriving with it. I had to remove the WL as it was being squeezed out. Yes, I am sure the shredded plants will come back sometimes this summer.
