I need to get in the pond and groom the lilies this weekend. It really needed to be done a couple of weeks ago but we had a cold snap and that pond water was down in the 50's. So It has warmed up and I will be getting in there this weekend even though it still is pretty chilly.
My question is, when it comes time to cut them back completely for winter, it will be quite cold in the pond. Do any of you have any tricks or tips to doing this without getting in and getting hypothermia??? Short of a wet suit or chest waders of which I have neither. I dont want to get in there when its really cold.
Just wondered how everyone els gets this task accomplished.
