I leave a substantial amount of muck in the bottom of my pools and they seem to appreciate it, but who knows whether there is any guaranteed method of success. I hope to see you soon again here, and wish for you the companionship of another frog in the season to come. Welcome, Janice.

We had a "volunteer" frog spend last summer with us in the koi pond (we figured he hitched a ride on one of the plants we had purchased.) He grew and grew and was quite at home. We weren't sure what would happen in the winter - we had already witnessed the miracle of fish overwintering, so we thought that maybe the frog could last the winter, too. We lost track of him last November or so - and now - I am sad to say, my husband dredged up a lifeless frog body from the bottom of the pond just the other day. We used a heater, but since the pond is just a rubber membrane, we figured he didn't have a place to settle into. Oh well. We are hoping for another visitor this year. Oh, the frogs.
