New pond continues to fill with water. In early spring, we had a 6-week dry spell where the pond level remained pretty constant. Many shoreline grasses/plants grew up strong around the perimeter in the spoils. I don't know exactly the species of the plants and how water-tolerant they are.

After a very wet summer, the pond level is up another 18 inches or so. Much of the grass is now partially to fully submerged.

If this trend continues, will the grasses perpetually in the water eventually die off? I hope some do, in order the open up the shoreline.
