Keeping lilypads over winter??
Hello!
I have a preformed pond (220gals) I will in Southern, Ontario, Canada. I'd like to know, if I should take my lilypad out of my pond, bring it inside over the winter months? Or will it grow new pads in the spring? I do have to take out all of my goldfish and put into an aquarium, as the whole pond will freeze over. I look forward to some feedback. Thank you!

Deb. http://hotcuisine.esmartweb.com/ Deb, what kind of lilly is it? Hardy or tropical? If it's a hardy lilly just drop it down to the deepest area of the pond. I keep my comets out all winter with a deicer in the pond.  )Janet in sunny Niagara Falls |

Is Southern actually the name of a town in Ontario? At any rate I can't imagine a 220 gallon preformed is more than 18" deep, [limitation of the forming process] so shouldn't it pretty much freeze solid? -- Crashj |

Ontario is a province in Canada and Southern Ontario actually refers to the area of the province. We typically refer to Northern Ont, Southern Ont, Eastern Ont and Northwestern Ont, etc. It's a big province. ) I am in extreme Southern Ontario in Niagara Falls, zone 6b. And yes,preforms do come deeper than 18 inches and they don't necessarily freeze solid up here.I had one as my top feeder pond for the stream that was almost 4 feet deep, it has never frozen solid.

My 200 gallon aquarium was about 20" deep, and a pond is going to have a larger surface area. and they don't necessarily freeze solid up here.I had one as my top feeder pond for the stream that was Absolutely. In St. Thomas, I never had more than a foot of ice on my pond. almost 4 feet deep, it has never frozen solid. Janet*in*beautiful*Niagara*Falls Ah - _that_ Niagara Falls, as opposed to the ugly one with Casinos, way too many lights, and all sorts of really, really, tacky businesses. -- derek |
