Sure thing bro! We can sit out back by the pond and totally ignore the fact that there are perfectly good mountain biking trails all around us.

I got them from the Big P up north on McKnight. Every spring they bring in tonnes of the stuff. I've also seen them at Sunny Side garden centre though, but they are pricier there.

By around now the water lettuce and water hyacinth overgrows my pond and I end up harvesting bucket loads every weekend to give away, so if you want a few heads come on by.

Only if you are one of those southern reefers.

That actually made me cry a little bit.

Although with that pond I guess I could see the temptation!

speaking of crying, it's probably a bit wet for the trails today ? I'm good with pathway if you're still interested. I also brought my running clothes though so I'm also OK with aborting the ride altogether. Although, with the new rules I think you have to ask permission before you can go ? Let me know if you get permission to go K ?

Thanks! All my plants, including the water plants, are perennials. I simply cut back their foliage and leave then in the pond over the winter. They come back every spring.
