Just when it looked as if spring had arrived, snow and freezing temperatures hold sway once more. Mind you it's not too surprising really; March can be like this. It's amazing how quickly things can change though and we're very concerned about the frog's spawn. I imagine the frogs themselves have probally taken refuge in the very deepest part of the pond but the spawn at the surface may be under threat. Many animals and plants at this time of year have built-in hardiness against any last gasp flurries of winter's cold, but research tells me that frog's spawn exposed to ice will perish. Sometimes those eggs furthest away from the ice, at the base of the clump will be ok, we'll just have to wait and see.
