My Urban Garden 10-5-08: Water Lily Pad Pile Up and Goldfish

October 5, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Next year I’ll have to learn how to divide water lilies.  Last season they started outgrowing their container, and this year they’ve started outgrowing the pond.  If I knew someone else with a pond, I’d give them my extras.  I’ve seen the ponds in front of megachurches and suburban office buildings and have wondered if there was a way I could sneak in and do a little guerilla water gardening.

There’s also close to forty goldfish of various sizes swimming around in my little pond.  I’m going to have to find a new home for most of them too.

Actually, I’d like to build a larger pond.

What’s interesting is watching the sparrows hop on top of the lily pads and use them as mini-birdbaths.
