 To be sung to the tune of "I've got sixpence" I've got tadpoles, lots and lots of tadpoles, I've got tadpoles swimming in my pond. Gloat, Gloat, I seem to be way ahead of any one else, six more lots to hatch. West Wales slugs be afraid, be very afraid

| If I send you an SAE, can I have some Welsh tadpoles? I think my frogs are vegetarians.

| Will your poles have much to eat at this time of year Grandpadragon? My cousin William has made a separate wildlife pond for rearing tadpoles (so his fish don't eat them) and every spring he feeds them home-grown lettuce (he steams it first so it's all soft for them) and they grow about twice as fast as the ones in my pond that have to fend for themselves. |

| Shirl the Girl Bucket full by the front ready,  Two sheds By all means make it waterproof tho. Be warned it looks like Welsh frogs are like Welshmen Randy blighter's  Jeannine, Think they will be OK as there is some algae even the dreaded blanket weed is starting to appear. More worried that when all the other batches hatch they wont have any where to swim.
