Gardening with the dogs. [View all]

I don't know about you guys, but my two dogs are Master Gardeners. This week I laid my veggie garden in. I began with 3 perfectly straight rows for beans, beets and carrots. I carefully worked the soil and sowed the seeds. When I went back to the garden later in the day, I found that my two "girls" had thoroughly inspected my work, trampled on it and probably sent my carrot seeds all the way to China.

Then we go on to corn, squash and potatoes. One dog insists on standing over me and watching every move I make...intently. She will also attempt to redig the holes I just planted the seed potatoes in. The other sits on every plant...tries them all out...doesn't miss a one.

Tomorrow I'll sow some more carrot seeds. It takes patience and a sense of humor.
