The quality of the water in the aquarium is definitely improving, contrary to earlier fears and, after the sad but frequent demise of cloud minnows last weekend we're taking good care of the remaining four.
The pond resembles a mildly diluted pea soup rather than water. The earlier treatment of blanket-weed proved reasonably succesful, even though the results took some time to become really apparent. The important thing is, all the fish are thriving ... I sometimes wonder if they don't appreciate it more, than the aesthetically pleasing and easy viewing conditions that suit us. Maybe the floating straw bag will help engender a little more clarity.
The wildlife section of the garden is thriving, the more cultivated area is where our problems lie. It really has been a pleasure to spend a little time there this Spring Bank Holiday, Helen doing a little tidying up whilst my back twinges meant I had to remain idle! It really is more difficult than some people may imagine to remain idle .... but ... I'll just have to try and make the most of it.
