Gravel being easy? I HATE digging in gravel. Maybe it bonds with my clay. It is just a pain. Nowmal clay i get a ten inch square out every shovel full. Rocks and gravel :puke: That said the worst transplant I have ever done was moving a six foot whit ash from a rocky gravel spot near the driveway to my neighbor's yard six years ago. We barely got any undamaged roots and it was sunmer! Amazingly the tree is still alive

Acros the street there is a swamp and stream and there are tons of green tree frogs over there. I used to live down the street and we always had both frogs covering the sliding glass doors. Even had a barking tree frog. Theres no shortage of anoles around my house, the brown ones hang out in the sunnier spots and the native green ones in the shadier areas. Also geckos at night and quite a few toads. Right now there are lots of tiny baby toads in the grass. My yard has a live and let live policy except for fire ants and sugar ants coming in the house. Florida has been over run and invaded by people so whats a few tree frogs going to hurt. They breathe and live just like us. I don't want a big hand grabbing me and putting me to sleep in the freezer just cause I wasn't born here. At least they aren't fouling the water and producing noxious gases and poisoning the air. CTF are now a wild part of the Florida ecology. just too many places for them to breed and live, just like humans. The only time I'll kill them is when Florida is returned to forests, empty beaches and Native American villages.

Earlier this year, a northern leopard frog ate the two green tree frogs that were also living in the screenroom with it (I searched the websites and none told me leopard frogs ate other frogs). I only found out when I saw back legs sticking out of its mouth. That leopard frog got immediately evicted from the screenroom in a rush. It also must of ate the brown tree frog it had a baby frog with. Now there's only green tree frogs allowed in the screenroom. It must of happened so fast because I didn't even hear it scream (then again, it got eaten head first). It is horrible that birds eat them. There's also a cat that roams the neighborhood here that attacks them. That's why I would rather have the green tree frogs in my protected screenroom with the orchids. I also have a black and orange poison dart frog in its indoor tank. That's a very pretty frog you have.

We decided to clean all the mucky water off the pool cover so the frogs might move on to more suitable breeding grounds. As we were working I could hear a frog "singing" very close to me. I started carefully searching and I found this little guy in an upturned fold in the edge of the pool cover. He was quite accomodating about letting me take his photo (do you think he was scared senseless?) Anyway, I'm pretty sure he is a Gray Tree Frog, do you agree? and will he move out of the fold on his own, or do you think I should move him from there to a tree or down to the lake? Opinions please.
