this is how to start up a pond in canada after a long winter

[350mike]

These are our pond pics - trying to start it up after this long, snowy winter. These are from late March up to yesterday. Still going to be a couple weeks before it is all open then another couple months before we can move the fish outside. We are really jealous of all of you who do not have this snow to deal with!!

That is a lot of snow! Haven't seen that much snow since I lived in Colorado.

Gosh and we here in Washington are complaining about our cool, wet weather and the tad bit of snow that fell a couple days ago that melted in a few hours.............shame on me for thinking we have it so bad :bowdown:

Oh yes Brrrrrr.....I'm so so glad I'm still not looking at that white sturr on the ground..you have my sympathy, and I hope your summer is long and warm.

LOL. thanks for all the concern, but it's all good. We have been opening our pond like this every spring since we started. It's the first thing to get going! this year has been a long one, definately, but nothing we can't handle. We know it's spring around here when the water is running through the waterfall! I love where I live and I wouldn't trade it for the world. This site shows many different areas of the world and i'm happy to share mine.

Cheers, Mike

We are glad you did! You do have some nice long days in the summer, beautiful flowers.

:lol:
I guess you are not using a big enough pond heater to keep it ice free :bowdown:

 

[addy1]

Do they make one big enough? lol that snow looks intense.

I like the pic using the snow blower on the pond. Never seen that before.
