Hi Lisa:

In SW Ontario I have added my tropicals. I do however keep a close eye on
the weather forecasts and will bring the tropicals into the garage if a cold
night is suspected. My water temp is 65F now.

like to get those plants in! (Not to mention it's been 80F here, how

Hi Lisa,

I think many places tell you it's too early, when in fact,
they might not have the plants yet. If the plants are hardy
they should be able to go into the pond now. It's still too
early for tropicals though.
