Good advice, Becky. Hopefully I won't have to leave them in pots too long. Surely someday it will rain and the pond will fill up again. It's so low now that I would have to wade through dangerously sucky muck to put the pots in deep water. I'm using a few of the half whiskey barrel liners, but that's not a great solution because my dogs think they are water bowls, and I can see mosquito larvae in there. At least in the pond, the fish eat the larvae.
