Spring is here and my slug munching friends.

i was out there all day today it was lovely. i cleaned the paths and patios. my mum live here too and is a bit wobbly on her feet after a knee op. which is now comming good. she hasent be outside for ages. but is now feeling better. now she can go for a walk tomoz.

Lovely photos Trees.... It has been a lovely day in the garden, and like you been busy pricking out and weeding, and generally tidying up. How good if feels to be out doesn't it..............

I just checked on Feb. 08 file on my laptop - and there were a lot more plants in bloom then. I reckon we are about 2-3 weeks behind!

Yes, I've been outside every possible moment!

Oh frogspawn already! I'm hoping for some in my new pond.....none there today, but will keep regular watch now I've seen this! Are there fish in your pond T&T? I have 2 fish and not sure whether to take them out or the frogspawn if/when it appears...

Sid there are no fish. It is a wildlife pond. (I would like fish but it means installing an electric cable etc etc..)

Basically it is a hole lined with an old piece of carpet, a liner lots of water a few pond plants and some dug up rubble and brick.

This is our second spring with it and our second year with frog spawn, there were loads of tadpoles but I couldnt tell you how many survived.

Lovely Flowers, it's been a great day for my crocuses too, I woke up to a riot of colour today

It was like spring here a few days ago but now it feels as if winter has returned. - it's been cold again. Anyway things seem to be perking up in the garden in spite of it. You have lots of colour there and I'm glad your frogs have come back.

Treesandthings! Wow! What super pictures, thanks for sharing! I'm jealous of your frogs and frogspawn, I want some!! teehee! I've just bought a new pond and regret it. I wish now I'd made a pond with a liner. Still, too late now I suppose. Unless I can persuade my dh that the one we bought is just for the birds? Hmmmm.......

Eeeek Sid! Your fish will eat the frogspawn if you do get any frogs!

All week as been dry & mild up here, i've been in the garden most of the time, it feels abit cooler today, but thats fine i need to do some potting on, so i'll be in my shed.

Its been mild here for the last 2 weeks.. But havnt seen any sign of my frogs yet.... You have some lovely photos....i

no frogspawn here yet, although i have seen froggies doing what froggies do but no spawn :( maybe she had a headache LOL

Great blog T&T...nice to see everything springing back to life !Looks like you have lots of frogspawn.Hope you end up with many tiny frogs.Love your hellebore...ours got completely flattened by all the heavy snow !!

I spotted a frog in my pond today.....still no spawn....

Craftnutter - Something might have to go in a bucket for a while - either the fish or the spawn if some appears!!

Ah Sid! Sounds like a plan, heehee!! Btw, don't you need to see 2! frogs to know you'll get some spawn? Frogs are supposed to take up to a week to mate!!!! Ie the smaller male frog holds the larger female in a death grip! (so I read!!!)
