Q.Toads

Zone 7a | co692op added on October 22, 2020 | Answered

Every year I have loads of toads in my garden in early Spring, but then at this time of year(Fall), they are non-existent. I would really like to have them so that they keep critters from eating my Fall vegetables. Any suggestions?

They will not be as plentiful as the weather gets cool. They can not regulate their temperatures, internally, as we can!

If you can manage to heat the pond, or the surrounding area enough, you may extend the season. It is not likely that they will stay around the whole year, though.
