oh-woah- woah... that is a shame, but not like the pets knew better... just time for some guard railing or slight fencing for the hosta beds so everyone and everything can live in harmony. :) :) ;)

Tearing up! But a come back is a coming......

Hello, I feel your frustration, My "angels" which lovingly go by alternate names of dumba$$ and Jacka$$, do not respect my gardens either. Spring time means 4 foot plastic/ metal fencing for around the pond gardens, and lawn chairs and tomato cages strategically placed in the others. Once the pips are unfurling I start taking away the block aids. The hosta bed along the side of the property has a permanent fence otherwise this garden would be destroyed. During the summer the other gardens fair ok for the most part they are a size now the dogs don't run through the beds unless they are chasing the evil squirrel. The defense mechanisms are a pain to put up take down, and look ugly, but... since Im not getting rid of the dogs or hosta this is what I do. - If money were not an issue I could come up with more attractive means of keeping the dogs out. Invisible fence for the dogs, motion activated water sprayer, decorative fencing that would compliment the hosta. Oh one other thought Leaving a path through the plants helps, my dogs when cruising the yard theywill take the path of least resistance, fights and squirrels aside. Good luck and do try to forgive the bad beasts they are clueless,but not meaning to be hurtful to you, not like evil squirrels.

My condolences....to your husband!

Ugh. The only ones I put out back where the fur babies roam are the excess common ones I don't care about. The smaller of our dogs has a bad habit of sitting on plants when it gets hot.

I must be lucky, my 4 shih tzus stay out of my garden beds, my daughters collie also stays out of the gardens. I wish I could train the squirrels and the rabbits.

I put tomato cages over hostas small enough to need protction. Knock wood, my two angels are small and sedate. Wish I could say the same for the neighbor's Great Danes. Love frogged's dogs nicknames.
