Hallo peeps!
OH has been home for a few days…and…we’ve been getting a LOT done!! So, to my friends, with whom, I’ve not been in touch…I apologise…
I will be…soon…honest! :))
But, this is an urgency!!!
Meadowland, this is the first patient…
…there are only five stems…
…thanks to the koi…who will be re-homed tomorrow
The pictures are not great…but you can see that the tuber is huge…despite the constant grazing…
Do I cut, J? And if so…where??
Lots of love,
Madame Clueless xxx

Thanks J, I will just re- plant it, then. We're down to a horrible soup now...have begun to return the pumped out water to the pond...until tomorrow...
...fished out one wee fishy, so far...
...that's how murky it is...lol :/ xx

Glad you found a new home for the Koi! :))

The pônd is a stinking, fetid, slimy hole at the moment...
...but, the koi and a few goldfish are in the paddling pool! yay!!! :)))
Have scooped out loads of slime - but, I can't get to it all...so taking the path of least resistance (no help this morning)...putting fresh water in one end whilst pumping out green stuff at the other...hope it works...

Ooops! Sorry about that, girls! lol!!
Nearly lunchtime here...and I'm definitely not having that sorrel and watercress soup... ;)))
I can see the bottom now, J and it looks more like silt than slime. Would it be okay to leave some of that?

See, this is why I have no fish in my pond....they poo soooooo much!

Too late, J...lol :/
I got out as much as I could...But, the pond is almost a metre deep will sloping sides so I couldn't actually get to it all... I let it get as low as possible (with the pump still running) and added fresh water, stirring! lol! Did that all morning, then I had to re-fill. But, I did add the aquasafe...and it's looking pretty good - so far...
It's clear...but with a blueish tinge. But, I think it might always be a bit blue because of all the limestone rocks I added at the same time? x
I left myself with a few little fishes, Karen...couldn't bear to part with them all...and my big mud-eater. Maybe he'll be able to do his job now that the merde-makers have gone! ;)
