I got mine at a farm after having a coupla drinks in the barn. Jumped the farmer and stole his gloves. It was only after I got home and sobered up that I realized I was the proud new owner of a pregnant cow......

I didn't cut mine back last year. They were purple, when the ice went out. They turned green in May, and I had lots of nice blossoms early. It was a cold winter too. -35 F a few nights. Do they need to be cut don?

O.k. you got the better deal! When is the BBQ, I'll be there!

My dad was an aircraft mechanic and we would get cow like this for payment from one of his customers! We had to keep the meat at a meat locker which our tiny town still had!

I do it because the leaves, buds do die (the ones on the surface) they add to the decaying debris in the pond, which is hard on the pond over winter. I leave all the small buds, small leaves alone.

Thanks. I will take the boat out, and trim off some of them.

Taking the boat out? How big is your pond? How steep is the ramp?

One is about 100 feet the longest way. The other is a little bigger.
