@Kathy – Carrots… umm couple seeds would have done it. Also… you girls and that DAMN Bachelor/Bachelorette crap. **shakes head**

@Cathy – We have not tried that, but we might now, since we replanted some – we might get that going this weekend. Thanks for the tip and for stopping by!

@Casey – Dude… where you been!?!? Izzy doesn’t eat anything, that would make sense… she does nothing that makes sense. She just uses her GIGANTIC paws to clobber things into a mess of dirt, leaves and afterthoughts.

@Daphne Gould – Can you come train our dog? Granted she is only 6 months and when we are out there it is a different story… it is when we are gone and she jumps the fence and runs a-muck. She seems to have calmed down lately though. **crosses fingers**

@deb – you inspired us to give it another try. Like we needed much.. haha

My dog tramples things in the early spring, but by now she is fairly well trained to stay on the walkways. She does get a little exuberant when chasing the bees or sniffing the compost pile, but other than that she is good. I’ll tell her “no” when she is chasing a bee; she stops and looks and me then sighs and lies down. She is smart enough to know that she will get kicked out of the garden if she doesn’t listen and she really likes to be there with me.

Ha, gotta love the dogs. I was growing a few tomatoes, peppers, and a single tomatillo plant just for kicks. Now, thanks to my little Jack Russel Terror, I’m just growing tomatoes and peppers. Tomatillo plants must be tasty, cause she devoured the whole thing.

Have you tried planting a radish at the base of every cucumber, squash, melon? It keeps those darn borer beetles away. Seems to work for me, haven’t had the stem become mush since I started doing this.
