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.

This morning we had rain, for the first time in a long time. Youngest teenage
son put on jeans instead of shorts to wear to school. Looked at the pond and
decided to get the floating frogbit out this weekend. Have no idea what the
water temps are, thermometers have come and gone around here, mostly gone where
ever the labradors have decided to store them and I've given up trying to keep
one. When jj stops feeding I stop feeding.

What a difference a warm night makes. Shady ponds have been sitting at 55F
for several days. Overcast moved in last night, low didn't get down below
61F, so ponds were back up to 60F by this afternoon.

K30, I'm only feeding once/day now, wheat germ spring/fall type stuff
and/or peas. ~ jan
