Well I was going to wait until Spring to post here but as we really haven't had a Winter......
Here's our Main Pond as of today February 6th..... and yes we are in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Pond sits under a 60'+ Maple so we start caging in mid October.
The green in the Shubunkin Koi shot is one of our Thalia that fell over in a wind storm.
As the pond was netted at the time it's been in there and green since Fall.
Our hardy water lilies have not gone dormant... pads are about 3" across and they are still sending up new leaves.
