Spawn in November

[Fatbee]

Transplanted some strawberry runners in to an ołd grow bag last week and was surprised to see what looked like a very small pile of spawn (frog? Toad?) all white but connected together.

Anybody ever see this at this time of year and why? And not in water. What else could it have come from?

Apologies for blurred photo.

looks like toad spawn, the difference is frog spawn is in a big clump and toad spawn is in strings so are newts as well

 

[yeogi75]

sorry meant newts lay singular eggs

Gosh I think you're right. Can't believe I've never seen them before.

Thanks for the replies

Snail or maybe slug, we often find them in flowerpots.

Turn the garden over and you'll find them quite often.

Not by those that only use a rotavator!

it's a heck of a job getting the shells off once the eggs are hard boiled

Slugg eggs.

I feel a right numpty having never seen these before given the amount of gardening I do. Explains the number of snails I have in my garden (theyre worse than slugs).
