This weekend was a blessing, bright sunshine and warmer weather, not only helps the plants to grow, but brightens my spirits.

I got lots of quality time at the nursery, separating plants and planting them. I managed to get three more ponds cleaned, and things are beginning to look a little more inviting out there after a dark winter.

The plants emerging from their winter dormancy of course is dependent on the temperatures, and many of them are still lying dormant as our nights are still rather cool keeping the water temperature of the ponds low.

I cleaned the bog pond on the large display pond to ready it to receive plants. I started the water flow to it and started the skimmer back up for the spring. I noticed I had string algae forming in the creek so I turned the system off and applied Green Clean, I want to stay ahead of the game on that and hopefully have it taken care of before the warmer weather arrives.

A little mowing time was a must as the grass was looking quite ragged. I didn't manage to get everything mowed, as the nursery was my first focus for the weekend. But all in all things are beginning to look a lot better.

As the days grow longer and the weather warms I find it harder and harder to sit myself down to write on the blog, but I will do the best I can to keep you informed of the progress.
