"attaching" plants to side of pond

I'm so jealous of your nice frog. I bought two tadpoles 2 months ago, but
they probably got eaten...what do you have his nice rock in the middle of
the pond sitting on--another milk crate?

'The Rock' is on top of 2 patio stones which we placed on top of an
extra layer of pond liner so the weight would not punch holes in the
liner. Rock is fairly big, Only about 1/3 shows above water line. It
took two guys to get it in there.

We didn't bring in any tadpoles the frogs found us and we wonder where
they came from because we have no lakes or ponds for miles around
us!?!

Not all frogs hang around water 24/7.
Leopard frogs like meadows and fields too. They do find water a great place to
hunt bugs. They usually travel when it rains. There is some old German proverb
about raindrops turning into frogs as spring rains always seem to followed by
magically appearing frogs.

Actually, tadpoles get sucked up into the atmosphere by twisters, and
eventually come back down as babies.

My Grandpaw and my Dad have both told of seeing frogs in cow prints,
etc after a hard rain.

They do, especially in this part of the world.
Fish also.
Why we're (USA) so lucky to get so many tornadoes when Europe rarely sees
any...

Interesting point so I guess they just hiked in!

I can see it all, groups of leopard frogs coming down the road with
their little hobo packs tied to a stick on their shoulders, sorry I
missed the parade.

Seriously though, we did notice the leopard frogs climb out of the
pond and go off into the garden area in the late afternoons. I guess
early evenings are a good bug hunting time. I guess after that they
come back to the pond for some 'submarine watching' time, as we hear a
lot of "frog music" during the later part of the night. We've also
had them sitting on the Colorado Rock in the middle of the day jumping
and catching dragon flies, maybe that's a way to show off for the
girls?

However they got here I'm glad to have them around. We had a problem
at the beginning with them getting into the Savio Skimmer and being
chewed up by the pump, but my husband put hardware cloth over the
opening and stuffed a towel into the handle so they can't get in there
anymore.

Same here with the bullfrog. He was so skinny, i think someone around
here made their child let it go. Now he's bigger.
