    Yes, I know, not ideal for a gardener...is it:yikes:

    I have no idea how this came about, but have hated them forever, make my skin crawl.

    Am I the only one??

    The irony....it's a bit like a blood phobic doctor....aka Doc Martin...:loll:

        I don't mind them. Everyone has a thing about something I guess, but it's not handy having a frog phobia, if you are hoping to work as a paid gardener. :yikes:

        There again Zigs, more chance of seeing slugs and wasps, than seeing Kermit :biggrin:

                  Clearing out my hut last week I decided to take a jacket into the house . I had left the jacket hanging on a hook in the hut since last year. When taking the jacket off I noticed something crawling on the wooden floor, at my feet , It was a huge WASP:yikes: . I was really surprised to see a Wasp still living since last year,it must have been living in the jacket pocket since last year.
                  Needless to say it met it's demise under my garden boot.:wallbanging:.

                          Ha ha ha, there haven't been any photos of frogs on this thread apart from this one
                          They're all warty so they're toads. Froggies have smooth skin :cool:
                          Though I imagine your phobia doesn't distinguish @vinca
                          Good luck with your studies :dbgrtmb:

                          That would've been an overwintering queen, music, so that was a whole new colony you squished :)

                              I have a frog and toad phobia too. I picked it up from my big sis. One of the reasons I won't have a pond in my garden. Shame really as its meant to be a wildlife garden lol
