I took the pond temp today (1 PMish) , because I was concerned about it
being too cold to feed the fish. Turned out to be 54F near the top of the
pond.

I'm in zone 5b in Southern Ontario.


The air temps were 77* but the pond is much cooler being that two days
ago the air temp was 47*. The fish are hanging there near the top
trying to soak the heat up. The fish are not begging for food. The
water lettuce is still doing fine but the rest of the garden is dead.
The d---ed Asian lady bugs are hatching out. Any door in the sun is to
be avoided so I go out the porch door which is always shaded. I
sprayed a whole can of Yard Guard around the outside of the house. So
much for Zone 4 in Mid-WI.
