Lovely Lily Pads!

Quick pond update!

Just a couple of weeks ago, this pond was completely bereft of life. The water was brown and cloudy. There was no way anything could have survived in it except for maybe some microbes and hardy plants. With the introduction of native water-loving plants, and even some things that people would call "weeds" and spray herbicides for in waterways, the water is clearing up! We've been able to successfully introduce fish, and we can't wait to watch this ecosystem flourish!

The plan is to eventually have a section of the pond dedicated to hydrophilic food crops such as rice...stay tuned 🙂
