One of those days. After I got everything done that needed to be done, it was almost 3pm, so I just watered the greenhouse.

I did get some new plants in the mail for the greenhouse pond to promote shade. It is called Frogbit. I ordered 12 of them. They are very small as you will see in the pictures below. They do NOT grow bigger, but they grow "children", so they keep doubling. If they do well, I will put the excess into the food forest pond. I had them last year, but they got lost in the ff pond.

Under optimal conditions, a new leaf is produced every 2 days and it will separate from the mother plant thereafter. You should be able to see triple or quadruple the amount of plants in 2-3 weeks.

Not my picture, but they can grow to this. Extras can be put in other ponds, composted, or sold online for $14.99 per dozen.
