My frogs and or toads having been getting jiggy with it too!!!!!!!!! Found some spawn this afternoon at the lottie......and so excited, this will be their first year of spawning.....aahhhhhhhhhhhh!
So here comes the poser.....how do you tell the difference between frogs and toad spawn??
Well. I have a new pond. Small as it is, it has got no fish in yet, as I am trying to control the colour of the water and also the blanket weed. The only thing that seems to be growing is the blanket weed. You may recall that I live on an estate and the houses and gardens are very close. We were moving a shed one day, and this huge frog just sat there. It was a little shrivelled, so we popped it in the pond. We havn't seen it since!!!!!!!!! I was flabergasted to even see a frog/toad there in the first place. Theres lots of places for it to get out of the pond, so I hope it remembers and brings all its friends back for a pond party. Besides which I need it to keep the slugs at bay. They seem to be eating all my plants. Especially the Dahlia leaves!!!
The pond will take awhile to settle down. Oxygenating weed and surface cover all help to keep blanket weed down. If you put a pump in which has a UV light that helps too!
Wait till the spring the frogs will be flocking to your pond!
