Farmer Mary has started painting the edges of the pond and the diving board black to make the pool-to-pond conversion more natural looking at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. She can always use more water plants if you have friends with an over abundance.
*******************
Farmer Mary is watching for baby koi since the koi have been in the pond long enough to multiply.
*******************
See the Amazon Wish List for Winterpast Farm if you want to buy some food for the turtles and fish to either gift the zoo or else bring it along on your next farm visit and you can use Farmer Mary’s cool catapult to feed the pond dwellers.
Turtle food, koi food, dried crickets, also thinly sliced apples, kale, cooked corn kernels, peas (unthawed frozen or fresh), grapes, collard greens, bok choy, (NOT ICEBERG LETTUCE) collards, mealworms (live or dried) thinly sliced or grated carrots, green beans, dandelion greens, parsley, clover are all things you can bring along to feed the fish and turtles. Farmer Mary also has small bags of fish/turtle feed for sale for $1.
