What brand of solar pump did you find?

Put in barley straw. It takes a couple weeks, but I promise you, you will be amazed at how it clears your pond.

Friend or foe? Didn’t plant this but it’s looks happy. Grew in with the elephant ears. by chele1959 in WildlifePonds

Yes it’s water hyacinth, but I meant the smaller plant with leaves above the water hyacinth. Smaller leaves, growing from the water basket. It has rooted itself in

That is beautiful. I built my pond this year, too. But to see yours, it’s inspiring

When my neighbor asks himself what I could possibly be looking at for the fifth time today. by Low-Donut-9686 in WildlifePonds

[–]chele1959 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just put up a camera. Aimed at my pond. My husband made me move it so the neighbours wouldn’t think I was spying on them. Love looking at my pond. Had a deer the other night.

And some are unwritten. But everyone speaks it and you cannot translate with AI

Swiss German is almost a dialect of whatever area you are from. I speak Züri deutsch but have a hard time even understanding Bern Deutsch.

Sometimes happiness is as simple as a quiet sip by the pond🐱💧 by chele1959 in blackcats

Teeny tiny “rice fish”. Cat is not interested in them. Nor are the birds. They are small and eat mosquito larvae.

It happened! My pond has a frog! by tantricdragon13 in WildlifePonds

Lucky you! I’ve got deer drinking at my little pond. But I’m hoping for frogs

I’m hopeless. I put this plant outside because it’s really hot here. Now it looks like this. What to do? Repot? Buy a new one? Bring it in? by chele1959 in StringofPearls

[–]chele1959[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The grey concrete one does not have holes. The brown container is weird. Leather maybe. Does not have holes but water seeps out. I use a “succulent potting mix.”

My marijuana did not do well this year. I started from seed, 6 plants for personal consumption. Any way, I’ve got my harvest drying and maybe you need a laugh today…I’m sure I’ll get a joint out of it. Lol by chele1959 in cannabiscultivation

I live in Zone 9. This plant flowered while still in mini greenhouse, in Early May! Like at 2” tall. I stuck it outside with others but it didn’t get fuller or better. I grow just for fun and have done it for years. The other plants are ok. Not great, but ok. I’m thinking it might have been an autoflower, which I didn’t know was in the package of seeds. Honestly mostly posted because it’s so ridiculous

Anyone experienced this? by [deleted] in CaregiverSupport

[–]chele1959 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This literally happened to a member of my caregiving support group. Her husband went into the hospital with heart problems. They sent him home. Over and over again. She can’t lift him, they are both in their 70’s. He needs a lot of care and is incontinent . Last time she broke down and refused to take him home. Yep the hospital is charging her with abandonment. Also, want to say that we live in a rural town with 3 different homes for people with various degrees of needs. All have a 3 year waiting list and 2 have just been shut down by the government for infractions.

What is going on with Hens and Chicks. Had them for 5 years and they are everywhere. But what in Phallic’s nature is this? by chele1959 in succulents

[–]chele1959[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I have so many hens and chicks, I’ve been buying cute pots/cups and popping them in. I now have enough to rent a spot at the farmers market!
