hi, it's that time of yr again. today we pumped out the pond and caught our fish. they go into a stock tank in the basement for the winter. the big problem that i still havent solved is what to do with my waterlilies. i have tried many ways to overwinter to not much success. am wondering...usually i hose off all dirt and cut them back and just try and keep them somewhat moist..i get rot and mold. can they just stay in their pots with dirt, cut them back and put them in the stock tank with the fish or in another tank? then dividing and repotting could be done in the spring. how do you all keep your lilies. (pond freezes to the bottom-nasty winters. blah) thanks, andi
