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
