I was out at my pond today and noticed a newcomer.
I netted her out for this photo. At least I believe it's a she if it isn't too young yet for the plastron to be settled on a shape.
I have two questions.
1) The pond is just a small lined garden featured, not a natural pond with mud and...
Im in pittsburgh, and was wondering which plants would survive over winter in a bog garden without any protection whatsover. I was thinking maybe having a pot of these out all winter long in the pond, seeing how that goes

Hey guys. Here's an update on my bogs. This was the coldest winter that NC has experienced in awhile. Most nights the temperatures were below freezing. I never did get around to mulching the bogs to help them against the weather. It's really looking like they didn't need it anyway.

Hi guys. I need help on how to plant a couple cattails in my pond. I got two plants for free but now have no idea what to put them in and how to put them in my pond. Can I submerge them completely? I'm going to have to because I can't put them on the side, they will fall over. What kind of pot...
So I live in San Francisco, in a very urban setting. I have a small, postage stamp yard where I have an outdoor pond with some cps growing by it. Here's the view looking out from my deck. The pond is in the lower right - the blue watering can is sitting on the edge:
