Water Lettuce - new growth

The water lettuce, I can understand preserving over the winter months in
some parts of the world, but not the duck weed! Do you really find it an
addition to your goldfishes diet? Where I live (gods own county) it is a
real problem controlling the growth of duck weed, even in tanks. At what
point do you experience the last frosts in your part of the world? Do any
other floating plants survive the winter outdoors?

The water lettuce that spent the winter in the greenhouse is putting on
new growth. In another month they'll go outside in the ponds and barrels.
Those that spent the winter in the fishtanks in the sunroom are also
increasing in size. Duck week stayed alive and green all winter indoors.
The fancy goldfish love it.
