    Philip, my wife helps with the things I can´t do on my own, but I do most of it. She mostly looks after the flowers and she does a lot of weeding.

    The toad is a pretty tough-looking dude...but the Oxalis corniculata there at the end of his snout, I find an mean adversary. The toad will; at least, eat slugs and insects for you.

    Odif all I can say is WOW, love all the pic's of your wonderful looking garden. So far our strawberries only have blossom's. We have them in a bird proof cage as they do way to much damage to the fruit.

    All those plants look so cozy in their straw mulch. I know they thank you for all the hard work you do in keeping them happy.

    Thanks all. I am even out there in the winter when its nice. The mulch will hopefully slow the weeds and also reduce my carrying water to them. We had 3 weeks with no rain and real warmth, but now we have had 2 days of real rain.
