Lilies Down

The lily tubers I had gotten last week were growing well enough in the water without soil or anything, but the roots were in the sun. I didn't want them to get burned so I put them under gravel and sank them to the bottom of the spa (shallow, maybe 18 inches tops). It's a temporary solution but at least now they will grow without direct sun to cook the tubers and roots.

I also "planted" my watermint in gravel that I put into an old baby sock. I eventually hope to have them growing bare-root in mesh pots along side the turtle islands (or at least in the main water).
