I went out this morning to start weeding my vegetable garden--getting ready to plant --hopefully this weekend. The rule of thumb around here is to wait til Memorial day weekend, otherwise we might still have a frost! So, the photo above is what it looked like! A few facts--it is a 20ft. round raised bed with a stone wall around it.
Well, I'm trying to straighten the wall and out from between a few of the stones pops a little toad! I watched it for awhile ( and so did the dog!) & then it hopped off into the woods.
Then I walked down to look at the raspberries & spotted these wild strawberries at the base of some of the canes! Will keep an eye on them--love fresh strawberries!
And I got about 1/2 of the garden cleaned out--more tomorrow!

I hear our frogs but never see them. They quiet up when I get close and they're so tiny that I can't spot them.
Cool find!
Too funny! It actually looks like a lawn ornament. It's huge!
Saw a turtle in our garden lots of turtle here and a few frogs that climb wall of house and sit there

Wild strawberries, mmm good!
Kim, we have lots of peepers that we never see, but sometimes the frogs show themselves!
Becky, Jim & Jackie--thanks for commenting!
I love toads, so cool you have some in the garden
Will wild strawberries produce? There are some volunteers in my garden area this year, and I didn't know if I should pull them or not (didn't)
