Lotus that jumped the pot

I'm jealous! What are you using for fertilizer? These AgSafe
spikes have a higher nitrogen content ratio than I've ever used for
pond plant or flowering plants in general, but they seem to work well
and my lilies are blooming well.

Of course! If it ain't broke don't fix it. I ran out of time and
energy and looked for a less time consuming way to fertilize pond
plants. I'm still not totally sold on the AgSafe spikes, but they
were easier this year, and I only had to do it once.

I have overcrowding of leaves, even on the lilies with more distance
between. It doesn't seem to be a serious problem, the leaves just
angle up from the water a bit and block sun from the earlier leaves.
They generally grow out a bit farther, until some are covering others,
but I guess that probably happened before and I may not have noticed
it.

I have about a 6x6 ft. hot tub that I converted to a lily pond just
outside the back door and a 6" end of a 30 gal barrel fits into the
lower section nicely. I started with 4 red lilies in that barrel
end, (I've forgotten the name, but they grow in 3' depths.) but I took
one out and left three. The three fill the area quite well and I
think next year I should cut the number down to two. It is quite a
show stepping outside the door to 3 to 5 blooms almost daily, but the
leaves in the center of the tub are crowded and mostly at about 20 to
30 degrees and sometimes hide one or more of the blooms. I think
this is the higher nitrogen 12-20-8 formulation instead of a 6-12-6
like the tomato spikes. I don't recall an overgrowth of leaves when
I used tomato spikes.

Regards,

Hal

Sounds like that's what is up and good "for me" to know. I've seen pads do
this in other ponds and the only explanation I have had, from books, was
dividing was needed. Then I ran into someone who had just divided that
spring and their lily was putting out pads like this by June. Now I'll know
to ask what kind of fertilizer they're using. Thanks. :-) ~ jan

These are spiffy two-tones.

I am amazed that my knuckles don't bleed when I walk.

Are you ever surprised by the speed with which people run away from you,
janj?

Me too! Why, it was only yesterday that I had had.

Who told you to think? I don't give you enough information to think.

I don't know. Are they using?

Thanks.

Thank God I smoke.

It's what they call the song of nothing.

So, how do you feel about being trolled by me, janj?

If you can resist complaining to people and boring them with your
troubles, you have reached the same level of development as my pet rock.

Help, I can't seem to relax!!! ARRGHHH SO TENSE!!!

I am here to mock you, not diagnose your problems or play agony aunt.

Hello, boys. [Ignoring you, talking to your dogs]

Sounds like that's what is up and good "for me" to know.

I've got Jews at my table.

Then I ran into someone who had just divided that spring and their

Who had just divided that spring?

Now I'll know to ask what kind of fertilizer they're using.

It depends on the situation.

Thanks.

Thank you for touching me, beautiful person.

IT'S WORTH IT.

Dickhead.

My face REALLY HURTS!!!!!

Are you always open to discussing your issues in public like that, janj.
Or was that just a passing abberation?

It could be worse.

I am an adulterer.

I really don't want to know, janj.

Thanks to everyone who posted answers to my question about the runner
on the lotus. It is doing very well now, and I enjoy it each and every
day. I threw some triple phosphate into the pot, and that seems to
have helped also.

=========================
My 8 year old Lotus still isn't blooming even though I fertilized it several
times this summer. I give up on it. :-(
