Fringe Benefit of Using Stakes

Look who I've found two days running about 4 ft off the ground! I wish he'd pick up the hose and help out, but the preference seems to be to lollygag in the foliage.
I am reminded of TCGreen's escapade with some flashing green monster flying out of her dahlias last year LOL! At least I think it was TC.

Okay, you don't need stakes. Today, he was found boldly sunning himself atop Camano Denali.

Treat him right and he will help out by eating harmful insects.

I have no earwigs in this section of the garden! I won't bore you with another "Travels of Froggie" photo but I've been worried about the little fellow unseen for two days, til he showed up on another stake, high up by the tag. Today he chose "Foxy Lady" as his hang out.

LOL sharon! Bet you've been to lyrics.com! I secretly DID want to bore you with more photos, because this little amphibian is a permanent resident of the "garage dahlia bed" as I call it. He's taken a real liking to "Foxy Lady's" stake and plastic baggie covering the paper label on that stake. Tonight the frogs and all things outdoors are subject to a real downpour of what feels like cool Fall rains. I can't believe summer is nearing an end.

Thanks for the laugh and flashback Sharon!

Enjoy your frog. I'm glad he stuck around. i'm sure he is dining on the earwigs. I like frogs. I think they look cool and are really beneficial to garden. Here's a picture I took of one at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. They have them in the Orchid House.

Oh that fellow is just too cool! Is it really that blue? And poison?


 o
RE: Fringe Benefit of Using Stakes

Yes he really is that blue. There were some crazy black and yellow ones too. The poison on their skins protects them from predators.
