It seems to have worked. The elephant ears a few feet away from the
pond are completely trashed, while the ones under the sprinklers look
OK. It got down to 28 last night, but it was still 33 by about 11pm,
when I went to bed. The sun rises about 7am now, and it was already
up into the forties by the time I made it outside. No ice anywhere,
but the ground where the overflow for the pond is didn't seem nearly
as wet as I had expected it to be.
============================
All my tropical's are safely in the Greenhouse for the winter. :-) The
three above ground "ponds" are shut down for the winter. The large pond o
ut
front will be shut down tomorrow or Friday. The fish are all at the bott
om
as the water is now pretty cold.
