Well, let's see. I use weak fish emulsion for seedlings to fortify them. Transplant water bucket I use Epsom Salts in it, the hole gets my magic mix of calcium, soft rock phosphate, kelp or seaweed meal, alfalfa, bone meal and dried blood. I feed my bunny alfalfa pellets and veggies, so I use the manure in the beds. Now, I use the manure to make a manure tea. In the spring the beds that don't have direct sowed seed get corn gluten meal. All the beds get , corn meal, calcium/lime and dry molasses. After this 98 degree heatwave goes thru I will be foliar spraying my fish emulsion, garlic, hot pepper spray solution. Oh, I also used 200lbs of composted cow manure in some older beds this year and have a load of horse manure aging in the field for later. Although I use alot of different types I would have to say Fish Emulsion as a foliar spray is tops. For pre emergent, weed control the corn gluten meal is testing out wonderfully in the established beds. My hand weeding chore has been cut down considerably. You can buy Fish Emulsion at Wally World, Home Depot or Lowes. Lime, alfalfa pellets are just pelletized meal, if you don't want pellets you can add a small amount of water and it will puff out to the meal state. Plant a trap crop for those bunnies, my wild bunnies hop past leaf lettuce because they have enough to eat elsewhere.

OT: aquarium uses other than fish?

I have a bunch of aquarium's I'm doing that with I'm gonna put a grow light on them and put tin foil around the outside shiny side in to maximize the light. I'm gonna use it for a bunch of datura and brug seedlings I plan to get going for winter fun. I think you should go for it! just remember good drainage. You could even plant stuff in there and put something pretty round the bottom to cover the dirt, like maybe glue a light weight tile or something of that sort. Oh you could have different levels and taller and shorter plants in it. Well thatÂs all the ideas I have I hope it works out for you. Cassie

Rita, There are actually four big gray fish "hiding" in that pond!! You have to really look to see them in person, much less see them in a photograph. The smallest one is about ten inches long. Zeke is so big now that it still surprises me when I actually stop and look at him. I have many smaller frogs here, but, thankfully, no bull frogs. When I soak daylilies, if the pan is under the tree, there is usually a frog in the pan when I empty the water out. I never see them until they hop out and onto the ground. Every year in May we have tadpoles covering the sides of the pond. The noise the frogs make when they "sing" is quite loud. When the grandkids were younger, they would get into major trouble, since they thought they just had to catch some tadpoles and their mothers knew somebody would get wet doing it. But they would sneak out and do it anyway. Now there are two more grandchildren, little boys, one and three years old that will be sure to want to catch tadpoles of their own...and Noah, the 3 year old, won't mind wading into the pond to do it. In fact, he will probably try to swim in the pond. DH and I stopped and picked up a box turtle today that was trying to commit suicide on the main road. I released him in the yard, but DH assures me the turtle will not stay in the yard. That's too bad. It would be kind of nice to have a pretty box turtle (the shell not the rest of him is pretty) crawling around the yard. Expanding the pond is a lot of work, but it will be pretty when it is finally finished. If it ever cools off down here, the work will go faster. 97 is the predicted high today. At least it is less than a hundred. Rita, You have a lovely pond even if you can't make it bigger due to space considerations. The rocks and the fish make it so attractive and it is a nice spot to relax and enjoy the yard and all the work you have put into it. kay

OT Walking Fish
Q

Of course there is a fish like this. It is called a snake head. A lung fish, using a primitive lung, enabling it to live out of water for 3 days. Can use fins to crawl on land. Ferocious and with teeth like a Pirhana. Now illegal to own a live one. I am not kidding. This nasty predator continues to invade U.S. waters and annihilate domestic game fish. It can thrive in freezing waters and even therefore quickly displaces native fish. Possible being introduced intentionally by those who want to eat it. I'll say no more. Stick with your gardening folks, for now it's safer than fishing.

This one was just mainly for fun. We had so many people join this year we passed out cash prizes to the top 10 winners and academy gift cards for the top 5. The top three got plaques as well and we gave a prize to last place as well. This one is more for bragging rights than anything. It our local group like the GW forum called the Texas Fishing Forum and we are the Belton Bunch. Here is Hubby getting his prizes. I think we ended up with about $100 between us by I pocketed it all since he made me lose the winning fish so he could beat me, lol.

He was pretty damn happy to beat me for once, lol. Gotta let him keep some man pride sometimes, lol. The first guy has a cute little blonde wife. We have only got to go once since we have been married when we were in Hawaii. It just never works out but I used to go in Louisiana and loved it.

Its a tournament we do for a few months at a time each year and record the lenght and verified by photo entries. We put all the new entries into the posts each time we catch a bigger fish.

Awesome Kristy! Congrats!! You guys got some nice ones! Geez..first he sabotages your win, then he sabotages your plants, lol. Men, I tell ya! ..eerr sorry guys, lol.
We were gonna hit the beach yesterday after the dentist..but I don't know what happened? Maybe it was cuz I was so cranky with the left half of my head numb, and then hurting, lol..that coulda been it. Can't wait to start goin. The lil one is finally old enough that I am comfortable taking her. The 9 year old still thinks all the advert signs that fly behind the planes going over the beach say "Do not go near the water without holding a grown-ups hand" lol. Gotta get that in the lil one's head too.
