ric' i've been doing lot research this winter ,seeming there's to much snow and freezing out. i'm gunna try some lilies and some marginals.lilies and lotis can be planted in their own containers so you control them , once week you'll have to pull any dead leaves and flowers to keep them healthy and the dead stuff out of the pond. cut completely back for the winter and leave the pot below freeze line .the fish and my eyes should love them lol. the marginals can be potted also and controlled, in containers though you got to fertillze about once month to keep the growing good. think spring \:\)

i only wanted to have some fun
