We do have the occasional frog in the garden, but it must be pretty amazing to watch all the breeding action unfold in your own pond. Maybe pond-building is a job for the summer!

I have heard frogs called the 'canaries of the environment' so you must have a healthy environment in your garden.mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-29431897010215884342009-02-25T19:06:00.000+00:002009-02-25T19:06:00.000+00:00Fingers crossed for you Sheila.

My pond went in in May and the frogs spawned the next Spring so there's every hope that yours will too.Tricia Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010432313312804286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-64446691455515746732009-02-25T19:01:00.000+00:002009-02-25T19:01:00.000+00:00great news Tricia.I have just dug a new wildlife p...great news Tricia.I have just dug a new wildlife pond and have seen two frogs but as yet no spawn.Of course it is a lot colder up north.I eagerly await progressswatsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00330525985066655153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-22220062259455548702009-02-25T17:08:00.000+00:002009-02-25T17:08:00.000+00:00Liz: the pond is a semi-circle with the straight e...Liz: the pond is a semi-circle with the straight edge being 7ft and the curve being 5ft at it's maximum. It has two shelves - one along the outer edge about 8 inches down and another at the curved "beach" end about 10" down. The deepest part is approx 20". I consider this to be a small (?) pond.<BR/><BR/>I'll see if I can find the pictures taken during its construction.<BR/><BR/>John - I'm sure different regions of the UK are going to cause different "spawning" dates too. The spawn was the same time as last year and we didn't have it nearly as cold as this year.Tricia Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010432313312804286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-12682368806267613132009-02-25T16:59:00.000+00:002009-02-25T16:59:00.000+00:00Tricia - The difference in dates seems to show how...Tricia - The difference in dates seems to show how much colder it has been this Winter. No sign of any frogs in my pond yet this year.<BR/><BR/>Liz - I used to have a small moulded plastic pond less than 6 foot by about 3 foot and narrower in the middle. It was home to frogs and newts for many years.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-45782887333510731562009-02-25T15:33:00.001+00:002009-02-25T15:33:00.001+00:00Very exciting Tricia!Is your pond large?

I'd like to build one but don't want a huge pond - would rather have a number of smaller ones in slightly different habitat so they attract different wildlife...Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.com
