Once winter approaches and the water temperature of the pond drops, the hardy lilies automatically go dormant. If any new leaves appear, they will be very small and will remain under the water, close to the soil. As the old foliage browns, simply prune and lower the lily to the deepest part of the pond. If a sufficient depth of water can be maintained so that freezing does not occur at the root level, the hardy lily does not need to be removed from the pond.

Lilies is an annual war that takes place in Calontir. Each year a new scenario is developed to vary the sides. Past scenarios have included Winter Queens vs. Summer Queens, Laurels vs. Pelicans, Baronies vs. Shires, and so on. It takes place at Smithville Lake, near Kansas City, MO. See similar questions...

Nymphaea species) Hardy lilies are perennials and frost tolerant. These lilies are produced from rhizomes and grow horizontally. They are sweetly fragrant and bloom on or just above the water's surface. Each bloom lasts 3-5 days and opens in the morning and closes in the late afternoon. Hardy lilies require very little care. Give them at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight and still water 6-18" deep. They should be fed every 2-4 weeks from May 1 to September 1. See similar questions...

Nymphaea species) Tropical lilies are exotic! They evoke romance and glamour. They are very fragrant and are exquisite as cut flowers. Tropical lilies are treated as annuals and are frost tender. They hold their blossoms high above the water and come in vibrant colors - blue, lavender, pink, green, purple, red, white, yellow and autumn shades. They grow from tubers and produce large leaves, some with frilly edges, some with striking mottling, all with spectacular blooms. See similar questions...

They can live quite happily, through the coldest winter, if they have an insulated coop or a light inside their coop. The smaller the coop, the easier it is for them to keep it warm. Birds can get frostbite. Birds with large combs tend to be more susceptible. Also, some breeds are just hardier than others. See similar questions...

While outages are very rare, sometimes things happen in life that are just beyond anyone's control. Our utility companies try very hard to keep water and electricity flowing for everyone. So if you'd be devastated, if the water was off for a few hours then you may want to bring a jug or two of water. See similar questions...

Koi are pretty notorious for digging up water lilies and other plants. It can be a never ending battle depending on how aggressive your koi are, but to offer some suggestions you can put your water lilies in a Submerged Plant and Pump Protector Net or a Floating Plant Protector Net. In short, these nets go around the pot and encapsulates the base of the plant in the pot while creating a "screen wall" that keeps the fish from digging them up. See similar questions...

There are a couple things that come to mind as far as why your plants aren't thriving. Either they don't have enough sunlight (they usually need at least 4-6 hours of sunlight/day) or they are in need of fertilizers. See similar questions...

While WNV activity in humans and birds peaks during the summer months, the virus is still present in an area over the winter. There are several ways that WNV can return to an area the following year. Birds provide a reservoir for WNV and migration patterns can reintroduce the virus into an area when birds return from warmer climates (where WNV can be found year-round) in the spring. There is also evidence that infected female mosquitoes can pass WNV onto their eggs. See similar questions...

When it gets colder, your worms will slow down, and will not be able to digest as much food waste. You will most likely need to cut back on the amount of food waste you feed your worms between November and February. Red worms can survive cold winters outside if protected by bedding in a worm bin.

Most hardy plants will die back and go dormant during the winter. The tropical plants need to be brought inside, or treated as annuals. See similar questions...

Place the plant on the bottom of the pond making sure it is at least 18 inches below the water. Then it will be under the freeze line and ready to come back up next year. See similar questions...

Yes. Come fall when the leaves on the Canna start turning brown, let the plant dry out. You can cut it back and place the pot in a garage or space over the winter where it won’t freeze and then repot again next year. See similar questions...

A - Most foliage houseplants should be watered sparingly from late autumn to mid spring, letting the soil dry out between waterings. Most houseplants are dormant for most of the winter, so they don’t use much water. For the same reason, unless houseplants are actively growing, avoid fertilization between mid-October and mid-March. For other houseplant questions see What Can Go Wrong with Houseplants . See similar questions...

The Water Patrol operates year round. In the winter, deputies patrol on snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles (ATV). They look for hazards, such as pressure ridges and open water, and enforce DNR and local laws. During the "off" season (early spring, before the ice goes out, and late fall before the ice reaches minimum thickness) deputies prepare equipment and respond to emergencies.

Most of our docks stay in year round as they can freeze in the ice. If there is exposure to moving ice the dock may have to be removed or towed to a protected bay. You can winterize the dock yourself, have a look at our Winterizing Tips Page. See similar questions...
