There's an American Toad in your garden right now that just woke up from five months underground. It weighs less than a couple of ounces. And it ate thousands of pest insects in your yard last summer.

It'll do it again this year if you give it three things.

A toad hunts the soil surface every night — slugs, beetles, ants, cutworms, earwigs, pill bugs. It targets pests exactly where they do their damage, on the ground in the dark, and it returns to the same garden bed night after night for the entire growing season. A garden with a couple of resident toads has noticeably less slug damage and fewer chewed seedlings than one without.

The toad doesn't need much. But without these three things it moves on to a yard that has them.

🐸 Three things the toad needs to stay:

1. A shelter — a broken clay pot turned upside down with a chipped edge for entry. Place it in a shaded spot near the garden bed, under a shrub, beside the compost, or along the fence. The toad needs a cool dark humid hiding spot to survive daytime heat. Without one, it leaves. A flat rock propped up on one side or something similar works too

2. A water source — a shallow dish sunk into the ground near the shelter with about an inch of water. A terra cotta saucer works. Toads don't drink the way you'd expect — they absorb water through permeable skin on their belly by sitting in the dish. Change the water every few days to prevent mosquito breeding

3. No chemicals in the bed — slug pellets kill the toad that eats the slugs. Lawn herbicides and pesticides leach into garden soil and are absorbed through the toad's permeable skin on contact.

🐸 Why this works better than products:

- The toad hunts every night from spring through fall without reapplication. A chemical treatment works once and needs repeating
- The toad targets the pests that are active on the soil surface at night — exactly the ones that damage seedlings, eat lettuce, and chew roots. It's hunting where the damage happens
- A toad that finds shelter, water, and chemical-free soil in your garden lives there for years and will breed.

We got a little but of a late start this season because of some electrical upgrades we had installed but the plant babies are growing fast and strong now. There are 3000+ plants shown here that will be available! everything from commercial varieties like jalapenos to rare ornamental variegated purple/whites 🌶. We are excited to be doing a bunch of plant shows like this year as well as growing for ourselves and our regular customers! Feel free to send us a message if you want to reserve some plants!

Its time to start all your indoor plants here in north texas like 🍅 🌶!!! An easy way to increase your chili 🌶 🫑 🪴 🌱 germination rates and save yourself some headache is to sterilize your growing medium! Seeds and young plants can fall prey to multiple soil-borne organisms. You can do this easy with a home oven or any similar device.

Put your medium into a metal pan heat it at 250f for 30-60 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 180f+
Turn off your heating device and let the medium completely cool

Optional: sterilize seeds.
5 minute soak in 3% hydrogen peroxide or 250-500ppm hypochlorous acid

This will help with any pathogens on/in the seed coating

Plant like normal

Happy growing everyone!
