There's so much to do this time of year that the days are a blur! But my garlic is all planted out now, and I'm working on seed collecting as well. I've got my propagation presentation this Monday, sadly light on the memes so far (but working on it, if anyone has asexual-plant-reproduction-adjacent memery to offer).

What's growing on with you all?

I am still struggling with my lotus. Out of roughly 20 seeds, only 1 remains. I have a grow light on it, but that is bringing algae. I am trying to devise a filtration system in a 14” pot. I have a small fountain pump in the pot currently, but need a box or something to put it into so I can add filtration media to it.

Could you put the filter medium into another pot, perhaps? This is such a cool project, I wish I was more helpful to you

I have pond baskets I am thinking of using. They are a pot with lots of holes in them. Maybe a smaller pot would work better.

The big issue I am running into, I live in rural NM and no access to parts. I have to look up everything online and finding a small version of anything pond related I difficult. I am going to start looking at aquarium parts since that stuff is inherently smaller.
