What does your pond look like ... Today?

@Mmathis so glad you got to enjoy a taste of the snow at your place. Isn't it beautiful? It feels like a cleansing of the earth to me! Love it!

Yes Spring is coming this week to Medicine Hat, supposed to get to +10 and warmer. That's like 50 Fahrenheit and little warmer later in week!! So EXCITED after that horrible -36 below

Looks like the pond grew a bit on the right side. with all this rain is that also where you over flow

Same size just the way the pic looks. I have an overflow tube which puts it away from the pond.

My pond managed to stay green and lush until the extreme winter weather we had several weeks ago. I’m pretty sure most of my plants survived but, the foliage didn’t survive. I had to cut most of the leaves out and throw them in the fireplace. Some of the plants are showing signs of putting up new growth but others aren’t. Going to wait until late April to determine what’s dead and needs to be tossed. After that, I’ll begin buying new plants for the pond.

This morning around 8.00 am the water is nearly always crystal clear and we thin out the
oxygen weed as it grows like a fores,t in no time at all.Lonesome is not so shy now as we go near
to the pond a lot, unless we startle him he is happy to let us be close by.
The pump is basic without a dedicated filter..but buried somewhere in the rocks we constructed
to hide the pipes as well as making a feature for the fountain.
Many plants will grow soon, including some water lilies, so will look more natural again...

I was unable to vacuum the pond of all the leaves last year . And i have a lot of monstrous trees . The vac died and I was traveling so by the time i got home and got a new pump for the vac , the pond had frozen over. All those leaves sat in the pond all winter . now i know there's going to be an algae bloom. A t the start of the season so we will see in the extreme what will need to be done to resolve the issue.

In Canada we have all manner of seasons, was -35 three weeks ago and ponds had much ice. I post many videos on my winter thread "my pond runs all winter "

Turned my bog on a few days ago, the pond water is crystal clear, see a few fish wandering around. The water is 44f.
