First foliage of the year.

You certainly have so fast and invasive plant varieties. At first we all get plants that we are happy just to see grow, then year two comes along the plants had opportunities to send underground runners . Some that are no thicker than a hair and mid year two or year three they are everywhere. Clover and obedient are two such plants

They are beautiful , the only place they want to grow /explode in is my pitcher plant bog , and they are not welcome there.

just the Aqua II 4000 and 60gpm vs the world…. i think i need an 80 watt UV to bridge the gap in the spring when the Aqua bacteria is sleeping. she was really cloud 2 days ago before i opened up the flow control valve to 100% open. i’ve swept the bottom, the sides, and my little stream twice with a broom and skim it daily. i closed the low flow valves from roof basins that supply rain water as i could see the organic film slowly heading towards the pond…. see if that helps. i really need to be able to run the porch section (see link to my pond in signature).

So glad to see you have fish again! Hope the snakes stay away.

Me too!
Putting out the traps soon. Still a bit cool for them to be wandering out.
