Early for toads - they lay later than frogs.


Now THAT depends where you are on the globe!

It's like saying a before b
or
whatever

Sweeping statements are "misleading"

This is uk.rec.gardening, which is about gardening in the uk. It is
therefore not necessary to prefix every statement with "in the uk".

However, to clarify for those who may be under the misapprehension I was
talking about Africa:

"February is early to find spawn of Bufo bufo in the UK. In the UK Bufo
bufo spawns in March and early April, compared with Rana temporaria,
which spawns between January and March".
