is it ever a good combination??
Spent today pottering in my lil' garden and watching the dogs cause mayhem! First I tell Chi 2 and 3 off for chewing on my blackcurrant and the new growth on my blueberry. Then I find Chi 1 standing in the trough of compost I just filled up. Back inside to get some seeds and come out to find Chi 2 has rummaged through the pile of twigs waiting to be bagged up and strewn them everywhere and Chi 1 is now in the coldframe!!
(it wasnt open but its a blowaway and he wriggled under the bottom)...
*sigh*
For now anything planted has its own little fence round it. Its like Colditz for plants!
Im hoping once things are established they will be safe from evil little ratdogs...
Anyone else have 'fun' keeping a happy dog and decent garden???

but in his favour he ignores the birds ......
Their worst trait is sleeping on the seedlings in the greenhouse but a stairgate across the greenhouse door keeps them out now. They eat any raspberries and blackberries they can reach and all the green figs that fall on the ground. Seems to have no effect on their digestion whatsoever. They also eat all the veg peelings and leftovers that would otherwise go in the compost bin. It would be a soulless garden without them!
