Merry Mary Mary, okay ya got me hooked on the solar stuff. I bought a solar fountain that only works in the sun. But I picked up 24 yard lights that only work at night.....perfect.

I've been picking up a thing here and there for my pond. Some grasses for the sides as well as some things for the bog bottles.

We put in white fountain, muhley grass and some umbrella plants today. I've been looking for pots that are busting out. Price of a gallon pot with dividable plants.

The fish are doing well despite the 17 we had 3 nights ago. We are in a (hopefully) 15 day warm spell now. Trying to get as much planting as possible done.

My papyrus suffered that freeze though. All growth above the water line got frost bit and turned brown. I guess I should have just sunk the whole pot and it would have protected it over night. But what do I know. I haven't been in freezing weather in years.

Any advice on that papyrus? can I cut off the brown and wait for more green to rise and grow? It is still green below the water level.
