Normal rainfall will keep most plants growing in outdoor beds and borders content for most of the year. Only in hot, dry summers supplementary watering is needed. Plants growing in pots, hanging baskets, tubs, window boxes and other containers will need watering regularly.
Do you have frogs in your garden? Frogs live around any water source, such as swamps, marshes, lakes, rivers, streams, and temporary pools of water caused by flooding or rainfall. Their eyes bulge outward to enable them to see in all directions, although they seem to stare blankly! A frog's sticky tongue is used like fly fishing. When it sees a meal, it casts out its tongue and reels it back in to swallow the meal!

Until the early years of the 20th century the Robin was known as the redbreast. He is a member of the thrush family and related to the blackbird and nightingale. Male and females are very territorial, singing the same song in winter. Robins frequently sing at night, usually under artificial lights and are often mistaken for nightingales. The Robin is Britain's national bird.
