The tire holds my gunnera which, at our elevation, will only winter over if mulched and covered. It’s still a bit soon to uncover it . . . maybe in a couple weeks. I want to make sure it isn’t frost bitten. We had hail a couple days ago.
I got the bog filter trimmed up a bit and all last year’s triangular reed foliage trimmed away.
As of yesterday the pump has been cleaned and water is circulating. Having both bog filters full of hydroton takes much less water out of the main tank when the pump starts running.
I haven’t pulled out last year’s hyacinths as the roots are doing funny things and I want to see what happens.
I have no idea if the penny royal in the upper filter survived. I can’t see anything on the surface.
The water beans are growing and the stems are getting thicker each year. Go beans! I’m hoping to get some winter hardy water irises in the big filter this year.
