So, Chris. How's it going with the puppy? He's probably is a lot more than
15 pounds now, but I'll bet he's still very much a puppy! Chewing, romping
and playing. Lot's of pleasure to be had. Unfortunately I think you're
going to find that a cat is a lot more congenial in a garden than large
dogs. That's the downside. The photo shows the rocks (and they're larger
than the photo indicates) that were dug out and then got put back to keep
the dogs from digging. I have a lot of iris beds littered with big rocks.
Sadly, the rocks aren't nearly the worst of it. I also have lumber laid
across the beds, lots of clay pots strategically located, a couple of
leftover sections of bull wire fencing, assorted plant cages and metal
stakes stuck around and about, and finally, worst of all, some rusty metal
lawn chairs stuck in the iris beds. All to discourage the dogs from
digging. The location is always remedial on a place they've chosen, either
as a shortcut or a digging spot. Still it's never enough. They haven't
been kind to me this summer. And I had another use intended for those
rocks! Oh well. :)
