What a little cutie :). Did you get to WI today? We did but I have never seen it so busy! People, people everywhere. We did get some apples and cheese curds, I am smelling an apple crips as I write this.
I LOVE frogs! what a cutie!
Iowa gardening woman,
We are still in Wisconsin! We are having such fun. We return Tuesday. I'll be posting about it soon.
dellits,
I knew that you love frogs.(me,too!) ;-)
What a wonderful shot. Frogs in your garden are always a good indication that you have a healthy yard.
Thanks for post this picture. It made me smile :)
Bob,
I did NOT know that frogs are an indicator of the health of my yard. How about toads??? ;-)
Generally any amphibian in the garden is good. Frogs, salamanders, even toads (especially if the live in the garden and are not transients) are great indicators. The reason is that they are very sensitive to chemicals in the yard.The healthier the garden the more likely that your garden is in balance and that you green garden.
In answer to your post on my blog, We are very lucky in this area, because even though we get a little snow and temps in the teens, pansy and Orn cabbage/Kale winter over and bloom during our coldest months.
I have not tried fritallaria ,I have friends that have many different types though. They do great here. The real trick with them is to plant them at a slight angle. The tops of the bulbs have an indentation to them. They can fill with water and rot. If you angle them some (maybe 45 degrees) it helps prevent this. They are very hardy, and can be expensive especially crown imperials. Hope this helps, All the best, BOB
It seems like common sense about the amphibians, doesn't it? And thank you, too, for all the information you provided about fritallaria bulbs!
This may be the best name for a garden blog I've seen!!
