What's flowering in your pond today?

[Fish Lover]

Do you really need to feed the fish in a pond?
I have a 10x20 filtered pond w/ water plants and river rocks lining the bottom.
I have not fed the fish for 2 months and they seemed to be just fine.

No you don't fish lover. I just feed them when I want to see them.

I feed my koi a little bit, a couple of times a day! I love feeding time! That is my reward for all the work I do around, and to the pond!

In spring I purchased a variegated garlic. It has been sending up purple flower stalks non stop. Unfortunately not hardy in my zone.

 

[tbendl]

Ok you can send it to me to winter for you.

Does anyone grow Canna Lilies in the pond? If you do, do you use the same fertilizer you give water lilies?

 

[tbendl]

I have them in my bog. No added fertilizer.
