It is almost October and the lilies are still blooming. As of last night there are more new lily buds coming up. This is amazing. It's been a good season for lilies. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/27/guguguta.jpg

Looks great Dez! It was a great year for the lillies for sure! Sadly I am planning to start winterizing mine this weekend now that night time temperatures are dropping to near zero :cry:

I think it was planned out pretty well. The only thing I might do different is to pipe in a line for back flushing the filter. But then again, that would mean another line to blow out before winter. I back flush every 2 weeks and it only takes about 15 mins. I keep a pump and hose handy to back flush with. I guess 15 mins every 2 weeks ain't bad though.

It's how my pond sits today. Tons of lilies bloomed this season. Water was crystal clear all summer, and fish were happy and disease free.

What are you growing there down at the bottom? Looks like a healthy "crop".

They are Lupins and creeping thyme.

My pond season has officially started! WOO HOO! I got it running a few days ago. Only lost a couple of small goldfish that I got for free last year, other than that my koi are happy and in clean water now! Tons of new buds on all of my pond lilies. Excited for this season. I'll actually get to have my pond running for more than 1/2 a year this season.
