I found a toad on the allotment yesterday. That in itself was not unusual - though it is the first I have found this year. I suspect their numbers on the plot are lower now due to the hens and ducks. It was only after letting it go that it occured to me that I should have put it into one of the polytunnels. It would have been safe from the hens and been in a warm and wet environment where it could have eaten any bugs that were helping themselves to my tomato plants. Great ideas always come too late.
We grow our own food in a suburban village in the North East of England. Follow us as we keep up the battle to be self-sufficient.
