I’m in Western NY and started my pump 2 weeks ago. A little early this year. Cleaned out the winter leaves. All my hardy lilies are in pots on the bottom of pond. When does everyone bring them up? Temps here are in high 30’s and night and from 40 - 60 during the day.

My lilies are reaching surface with leaves, even a bud seen.

I see my lilies in the frog pond sending up stems but that pond is only a foot deep. Other plants are starting to show life also. Darn I wish I never put that Duckweed in that frog pond. Taking all the plants out and putting them in tubs and then ridding that pond of the weed. It just overtakes everything when no fish are involved. Someone told me on here when I added it in there that I might be sorry. I am :(

Well Pond Spring Clean Up has begun….. what a mess….everything that is in the baskets are going back into the pond…. Everything else I am going to put in the ground in a sunny place behind the fence so I can keep what I want…. Arrowhead plant and a couple of different kinds of Lilies in amongst the Elephant Ears, in a month it will look entirely different….. LoL
That definitely looks like some work and I am new to this group I built my first pond at the end of the summer last year and I have a question what are the air bubbles on my rocks not on my water on rocks in the water and it is only in one area of the pond
