Do you have frogs and tadpoles? We have 2 water gardens and a creek through the yard. Bull and Leopard frogs visit both gardens but they don't breed in them as they have rock bottoms and no place for the tadpoles to overwinter.

Now the toads do breed there and we watch strings of eggs being laid. Later we watch thousands of dots turn into tadpoles. Fish eat some of the tadpoles and Bullfrogs eat some of the fish and snakes eat some of the frogs. By late July we have to quit mowing for a coupla weeks as hundreds of tiny toads move out across the yard to their life in the wild. I've hauled lots of toad tadpoles to places that have ponds or water gardens and it's always a thrill to see the toads have taken hold.
