Kamikaze Frog

This was yesterdays job. Planting up the island on Albany Hwy. This isnt our area and we wont be looking after it once it is completed, for that we are quite grateful. The design isnt the greatest, as there are too many plants for the area. I realise why the bed was designed that way, so it looks 'full' once its been planted, however it doesnt allow any room for the plants to grow.  So who ever maintains this bed, is going to have a horrible time doing so.

There is quite a nice story from this planting endeavor, however. I met the most suicidal frog this side of the black stump! I was using the auger, making holes for the plants to be planted into, when suddenly this frog jumped out of the plant I was drilling next to and I nearly hit him. I figured this was an unsafe place for a little frog, so as I went to catch him, he high tailed it away from me ... TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!!!!! I stayed on the verge as 2 cars approached and ran over the top of the little frog, but managed to miss him! I didnt want to watch as the cars went past, I have a soft spot for frogs. When we realised he was still alive and very unscathed, we shooed him into the bushes on the other side of the road. May he live to scare the bejimmenies out of some other gardener, another day.
