  • To kill or not to kill

    Toby (dog) decided it would be fun to run into the greenhouse.....and in doing so he has knocked over seedlings (boooooooo hooooooooooo)

    soooooooooooo my question is, thumbs up or thumbs down??

    Do you mean the dog or the plant's.
    the plants can be saved as long as the stems are not broken .
    I would sugest that you put some thing like a bread tray across the doorway and keep the hound out...jacob

      I think he should have a reprieve for now and be let out early on good behaviour. My dog has just discovered my sheeps wool slug pellets and has decided he likes the taste of them yuk!!

        I'm debating the same thing with my son.

        The great big lumox sent a tray of young giant aster flying this morning

              My bunny not only got into the greenhouse and knocked over trays but also ate the seedlings and dug in the soil. Then he did the cutesy eyes, head to one side and (muddy) paws on my lap 'sowwy mummy' look. He knows I'm a sucker for it...

                  My luverly dog daisy is always treading on things, running into places she shouldn't dispite my best efforts i am sure she thinks she is helping because as soon as i get the shed key she is there with her tongue hanging out tail wagging as she knows it is digging holes time.
                  I think you should forgive him, he wouldn't have meant it just wanted to see what was getting all the attention in there.
                  When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown

                    This is precisely why my allotments are designed around Milo barriers of one description or another.

                    So now if he tramples anything, it must be my fault and don't anyone opt for thumbs down for me please
                    I am certain that the day my boat comes in, I'll be at the airport.

                        hmmm forgive him and put a barrier so he cannot go running in their again? dogs dont understand, thankfully I have small dogs, so that worry isnt a worry lol....

                        plenty of time to sow more seeds!

                          Chickens got in under the netting and scratched about in the salad bed the other day - my fault really, as I let them in there over the winter, and didn't pin the bottom of the netting down as I usually do.

                          Luckily they didn't do too much damage, though my neatly-sown spinach and mesclun seeds are probably now scattered all over the bed!

                            I have to remember to put netting across the front of my mini greenhouse when I have seedlings etc. in there or else the cat climbs in & goes to sleep on top of them, nice & cosy in there!

                              My dog once found his way into the greenhouse and ate a tray full of leeks and it was too late in the season to sow more, so a leekless winter. I allowed him to live... but it was touch and go.
                              Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.
