We harvest a fair amount of BG/HBG, CC, and LMB in the summer and early autumn. We stock golden and rainbow trout in our CC/HBG put-and-take pond each October. We harvest them in April and May.

We grow water cress and horse radish in the wetland I created to filter water going into my main pond. The water cress is in the area that flows. The horse radish is in an area a little higher, that stays wet nearly all year long. I hope to get some floating islands made this year for a few other veggies.

Then there is my 50' x 100' garden. It isn't actually part of the pond, but I keep a 2-inch semi-trash pump at the edge of my main pond during gardening season. About 200-feet of hose feeds up to four large sprinklers in my garden from this pump. If we go for a week or so without rain, I run the sprinklers for an hour or so.
