I poured frogspawn (thanks lousmith) into my tub from a jar and it sank.


I was expecting it to float back to the surface, but it hasn't and I can't see it in the tub (the tub is black so a bit hard to see things in it).


Is it OK for it not to be at or near the surface? Do I need to put my hand in, locate it and pull it up?


:-$

I went away for the weekend and when I came back there was no sign of ANY of my frogspawn - it hasn't sunk to the bottom again, it has just completely disappeared.


It hasn't hatched - no sign of tadpoles.


I've just googled and apparently cats and some birds will eat it :-S


I had removed the netting over my tub - now I wish I hadn't.

Yes, might have been, but tail seemed very long.


Will be lovely to see the swifts swooping about again.


PGC, I was about to post the same thing about the coot/moorhen thing, it is the only way I can remember which is which!

    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
