How Cold at Your Pond?
Well, it got down to 25.5 last night here in north Florida, and my
attempt at sprinkling water over the plants to keep them from freezing didn't exactly work when temperatures got that low. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...n172009004.jpg How it used to look in warmer times: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...n012008012.jpg Oh well. It's supposed to get to 60 today, 70 tomorrow. |

It's supposed to get to 60 today, 70 tomorrow. Sure made for pretty ice sculptures. I think you're suppose to leave the water on. Even if it forms ice, the plants will make it. Leaving the water on until the ice melts keeps the temp above 32F.... water gives off heat when turning to ice so the story goes. ;-) Holding just below freezing here. Ponds at 39F and I turned the heater off hours ago. Ingrid I'm feeling for you! -10! Yikes! ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
