Toads are of essential service, especially in a garden, to eat up cabbage worms, caterpillars, etc. - Farmer's Almanac
Remember this little guy/gal we spotted last year amongst the tomatoes?
Lookie what Justin Dervaes found last week hiding in the cool sand under a self-watering pot! Wonder if that's the same toad we spied last year? Sure looks like it is, just grown a wee bigger.
Still quite curious how it got here amidst the concrete jungle?

I have chickens in my yard, but obviously I know how they got there. After a long wait, I finally got someone to build a chicken coop for me, and it is a beauty. Looks almost like a little yellow Key West house. We are allowed 4 chickens in our town. When I went to the feed store to get them, they had Rhode Island Reds & Americanas, so I got 2 of each. I'm loving them so much.
The builder and I also rescued a black rat snake that got horribly tangled up in net I put over my lettuce. I won't do that again.
We live in the country & I saw 1 little toad last yr. I was very happy. I remember as a child find many toads..even finding little tadpoles on occasion. I worry my grandkids may never see such a thing...so sad.
