Yesterday the outside temps were in the 40's and today they are already in the 50's. This warm break will give me a chance to go out and dig up some of my garden soil for the Lotus. I have been told that the clay garden soil will be better for the Lotus than potting soil. I will dig up a couple of buckets and bring them into the mud room (an appropriate place) to warm up and maybe I will be able to pot them up and get them into the pond tomorrow. Although winter is not done with us yet and I expect to get some more cold weather along with some ice and snow before spring comes. Here is a picture from early last summer. By the end of summer you couldn't see any of the water surface.
