Gardeners face many challenges...moles, gophers, aphis, birds, poor soil, cut worms, caterpillars and many more evils...but who would ever suspect an amber eyed, affectionate, helpful member of your own family to wreak havoc in your vegetable garden? Last night, under cover of darkness, the beloved family dog, Lola, again gave in to her weakness for the taste of carrots.
A framework of PVC had been constructed for shade, frost and sparrow protection. When in place and covered, we thought it would protect our vegetables from any misfortune but we had not reckoned with the cunning of our sweet carrot loving chocolate lab!
The rapidly maturing carrots were well hidden, under floating row cover, secured at all sides. It would seem that made the game all the more fun... seek and ye shall find...and she DID!
