It's quite a challenge cleaning the duckweed out of the pond. I bought a new skimmer I thought would make it easier, but the little wrigglers are determined to be caught no matter how hard I try and avoid them. 
I now keep a pair of wooden knitting needles by the pond, and when I skim out the duckweed I use them like chopsticks to pick out the tadpoles and drop them back in.
The fringed water lily has gone mad over the past month. I hate to weed it out because it's taken so long to establish it but I think I'm going to have to. It's not one large plant, it's dozens of individual ones. I'll take a photo of it tomorrow to show how well it's doing- I'm hoping it might flower, but no sign of any lilies yet.
