Does anyone know anything about gardening?

Oh god, so cute. My landlady tells me that there's a "long-standing community of toads" in my garden but I haven't seen any yet - I'm going to sink a basin of some kind down for them in the hope the regular water will encourage them to show themselves.

Landlady also says she saw a slow worm in the garden once and it'd make my year if I spotted one of those in real life. Only seen earthworms so far, they're not quite as exciting. And slugs. So many slugs. Need moar adorable slug-eating predators.
