Cool, a watch-toad! You're right, if any slugs are in that pot when toadie is around, it'll be the last pot they crawl into.

Toad flinging meanie ! hahahahha

When I was a kid we had a basement so damp and wet we actually let a big old toad live down there, he hung out around the TWO sump pumps that often ran nonstop for hours when it rained a lot !

those days get further away, seems another life time ...

Gesila, that soil in the Empress Wu pic.. Are you SURE that isn't a concrete mix !

It looks brutal ! I guess if any of them will grow thru a piece of cement, its EU ...

LOL Leafwatcher, I noticed that myself after I took the picture. I think the soil looks so bad because the water overflows from the gutters above and washes away the good soil. I guess if they'll grow on Ken's driveway, they'll grow here.

You are at my favorite part of spring, when they begin to unfurl. They look so fresh and alive. WeâÂÂve waited all winter for just these moments.

Hehe, then we give it a month or so and they start the downhill. Spring truly is ephemeral.

You should think about getting some âÂÂToad Housesâ for that âÂÂlil chub ya got there. :)

Beautiful! You sure know how to grow Hostas. I swear all yours grow like weeds.

I have remnants of terracotta pots, I turn them upside down and let them be turtle houses or toad houses. The little tree frogs are out now, and they make big noise when it is wet. I found one in my staghorn fern the other day. Hanging from a sasanqua it was...the fern.

Thanks Owen. Hostas grow like weeds here in West Michigan. I'm pretty lucky that there are local nurseries that I can buy young hostas with more than just a couple of eyes!

I had the whole neighborhood running over to find out what was wrong when I found this toad ... doesn't everyone scream bloody murder when they think they're picking up leaves and end up with a toad in their hands? Not really excited to have more of these around ... even if they do eat slugs.
