This year I’ve had 3 frogs staying in my Poly Tunnel. Every time I water they jump around in the Shower.I have low wooden slatted benches and they seem to thrive on all the little slugs and bugs in there. I don’t think I’ve ever had so few insect problems in the tunnel. It’s been fun watching them grow from tiny little fellas to near adult size. I hope they stick around.
Normally when I see one and grab the camera he disappears. This time he just sat on the pot of a common juniper and looked at me.
When he didn’t move I decided to get a shot from a better angle.
I wondered how far he would let me get will the camera before jumping. I moved a little closer…
I then moved the camera so I could rest it on the other side of the pot from him. Still sat and giving me the look 🙂
I probably could have got it closer, but I was at full stretch and was unable to focus the camera any closer in. Eventually he turned, gave me a wink and hopped off.
My own display benches are now full.

The Winter hasn’t had an impact on our native orchids, I’ve seem more this year than ever.
This is the back of the tree. The deadwood needs a lot of refining here to improve a very flat boring area. However there is one branch at the back that isn’t connected to the main vein and I wanted to avoid working in this area. To be honest it’s hard to tell where the live vein is for this branch. It may have a slight crossover from the front. Any way, no rush. Tree will be left now for the rest of the year to get used to my garden and my care.
I’ll keep you posted with details on how the Autumn colour turns out this year and if it has any affect on the flowering next Spring.
It was absolutely chucking it down, but we still managed to see all the sights 🙂
