>We are making a big effort to be vegetable self-sufficient this year and have been increasing our planting areas and vegetable stock quite considerably. Unfortunately our neighbours have decided to increase their dog stock, up to 4 now. The latest addition is a puppy that they intend to breed from. Now dogs and vegetable plots don't mix, not healthy in any way, shape or form. Monty and Pip don't go up to our top terraces ever and the vegetable beds in the side garden are fenced off so they can't get in there either. And the thought of puppies finding their way into the vegetable beds..
So yesterday we took up a long roll of fencing and staked it all along the border as a deterrent - it's not possible to completely enclose the land, but we hope to cut off convenient access. It's very colourful fencing - orange - and it's light weight so shouldn't be a problem in strong winds and luckily was exactly the length of the border.
All the planting that we have done so far is looking fine - despite yesterday afternoons cloudburst, complete with rumbles of thunder, which sent Pip scurrying under the bed.
