I will be repotting and fertilizing my lilies soon  I have cleaned out the bio-filters already and continuously monitor the koi pond water and the rain we have been getting.

I spent all of Sunday repotting the lilies that were in the lily pond that had the fish loss. I had taken them out and put them in a stock tank piled on top of each other. It had been almost a month.  I think I almost killed all the the tropicals by doing that.  I was curious  if anyone is fertilizing lilies yet?

Thought I had all the spring cleaning done but then my goldfish in the biggest lily pond told me their water was too dirty (they were hanging around the splashing from the pump).  Nearly drained the entire thing, caught about 20 fish that need a new home, & kept the 20 prettiest.  They are quite active today & happy with the cleaner water.  Saw some splashing around the plants, so I know they were "getting busy".

Found a tiny male leopard frog on top of a big momma.  Big clutch of frog eggs in another pond that are starting to hatch.

And of course when I wasn't trying to save goldfish eggs, I've found tiny new fry from some plants I pulled out of my covered ponds  

Luckily I got all my hardies divided & repotted with fertilizer the week of Spring Break.

So Lawanna I feel your fustration

   I've been at mothers since February 27th.  She had heart surgery on March 10th.  I'll be here until April 15th at least. 

   As soon as I get home I have to double time and get everything done.

I put my spawning mat in last Monday, but haven't seen any action, even after a partial water change a few days ago.  Usually they spawn in March.  The weather is just too weird this spring, though.  It's dropping into the 40*s again later this week! 

Oh, I did notice two of the box turtles doing the (somewhat awkward) bump and grind yesterday.  THAT's odd, too, since it's really a little too cool still for them to be carrying on like that.
