I spent most of this morning watering the gardens until all was happy.....it' raining now. No doubt the plants will be happier yet.

I have decided to re-do the large pond. The liner in it now has a bad leak, no doubt caused by my own dogs running a muck. Stopped at the Archer Farm Supply and they have a 9 foot round plastic water trough. They will deliver for 20 bucks. Will go on Monday and pay for it and get it brought out. I only have 4-6 inches of water in the pond now, so this is serious. I bought 3 tropical lilies in a co-op and one, Bob Tricket is a hog. I'm telling you, when I got these lilies, they were just barely strings and good old "Bob" has grow so much his pot bottom is round and he won't sit up straight. Plus everything else in there is growing like crazy.

I have a customer up in High Springs who has a large natural pond. Was thinking of taking some of the over flow to her.......that is if no one here wants some. Norma, have you got that pond set up yet?

Here's one of my water cardinals
