It was dry enough the other day to mow the lawn, but the job was made more complicated by having to avoid the frogs that were all over the place. I really didn't want to slice and dice them so I had to keep my eyes peeled and be ready to do an emergency stop at any time.I've always known there were frogs, toads and newts in the garden. One year a toad hibernated in our compost heap, and I loved going to have a peek at him. But I've never seen so many of them.

Hello Melanie, I've just discovered your blog and I'm enjoying it very much.
Oh how I wish we had some frogs. I can hear them nearby but I need to build them a little pond to make them stay a while.
You have obviously created a haven for the frogs, toads and newts! What's your secret?!

Yeah, Mel. Frogs sliced and diced ain't pretty. They're much better kebabbed whole with a little chervil butter.
Hi Polly, thanks for your kind comments. You should make a little pond - even a sunken washing-up bowl with some rocks can be a haven for wildlife such as frogs.
Sara - We have a small but deep pond at the end of the garden and I think they like that. Also we live fairly close to a river valley and I think they travel up from there.
Dad - yuk! yuk!
