Pond life | No shortage of tomatoes | Mark Spencer | Johnson’s jugs | Letter getter
My family suggests that my frogspawn records over the last 15 years are a sign of eccentricity, so I was delighted to read the letter from Evvy Edwards (28 February). The earliest date for our pond was 21 February in 2011; the latest was 16 March in 2013. We moved house last year and, of course, the frogs came too. I am anxiously waiting to hear the loud croaking chorus that is a sign that the frogspawn will arrive in the next few days.

• No tomatoes? No problem in the little greengrocers in my Thames valley town (Lidl becomes latest retailer to ration sales of salad ingredients, 27 February). There’s all manner of salad stuff. Peppers galore and beautiful tomatoes – big, little, all colours, striped ones, flattish ones, all stacked against the walls of this tiny shop. I’m spoilt for choice.
