I've been planting up the summer troughs with my favorite summer flowers, GERANIUMS, I just love them! Imagine my surprise at meeting Mr Toad, behind a bag of compost, outside the front door . He's moved in of his own accord & seems totally "au fait" with his new territory. He's a welcome addition to our menagerie as he thrives on a gourmet diet of insects. His presence, along with that of his family , probably explains our thriving hostas around the pond. Each year our Hostas survive without the aid of pesticides. We are greatly indebted to Mr Toad and the families of wild birds who live in the garden.
