This will be the third winter with the pond. I cover the pond with a large screened box frame for fall to keep leaves out and I put plastic sheeting on when the snow is imminent. A filterpump is left in along with a surface heater and I always check to see that it does not freeze over (never has). The coy fish were fine in the spring and I dont have any concerns about them. The question is regarding the surface plants. This year we really had a bounty of plant life and Im not sure what to do with them. Can they be left in the pond over the winter??? I hate the thought of pulling them all out but I have no place to keep them from freezing. If I can leave them in place that would be wonderful.
Any input on this will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Fred.
