The cantaloupe has reached the top of the trellis. I find myself looking at it and thinking... REACH FOR THE SKY!!

Do Frogs Eat Aphids
I found another frog sitting on an okra leaf as if he had found a giant lily pad. I searched the net and can you believe that some people grow aphids to feed to frogs!! I sure hope that all the frogs that I am seeing in the garden will keep the aphids out!!!

Love the frog. And I can't imagine having to raise aphids. Here in Oregon we have no shortage of them! I am envious of your cantaloupe. Mine is all of 4 inches long right now. Has yours set fruit yet? Happy gardening!
ReplyDeleteCute pictures with the frogie. It looks like if it was just a toy; so cute.
ReplyDeleteLexa, I can't imagine growing aphids either. Whoever grows them must not have a garden!! My cantaloupe has set fruit. I have one that is the size of a large grapefruit. I think if you click on the cantaloupe label at the end of my post, it will show you all the posts about my cantaloupe. I also hope to post a blog tomorrow updating the status of my cantaloupe.
ReplyDeleteThe little green frog is adorable. And you have cantaloupe setting fruit--that is wonderful! Thank you for posting this.
ReplyDeleteGrowing aphids? Couldn't do it, not even for such a cute little frog. Hopefully he'll keep them away for you! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little frog and a great for pest management in the garden.

Any frog in the garden is good in my book... surely they eat all kinds of pesky bugs:) Very cute. And wow, what a cantaloupe.. I am in Oregon and mine sure don't look like that!
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by myeverydaygraces too:)
Olga, Athena, zentmrs, Ott, A, and Heather, thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. The frog is cute. He had a larger friend that visited my okra a few days ago. I hope they are working hard to keep the aphids out of my garden!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it when frogs visit- I knew they were good for the garden, but didn't know that about the aphids. Another reason to like frogs. Thanks for sharing at the TGP!
