Thanks everyone....I "rescued" my hyacinth plants from a local canal. Found out later that they are illegal here, but I didn't bring them in, just moved them within the same area/state. I really like the Canna Lilies. They are mostly in shade. And YES....it was hard digging, used my Dad's Roto-Tiller which helped tremendously, lots of roots. So....I made sure I lined the pond heavily with a protective covering before adding my actual pond liner. Not looking forward to "Fall"...I'm going to have a problem with the leaves....I didn't think about that when building it back in the "spring". :frown:
