To kill or not to kill

[Safhyre]

Toby (dog) decided it would be fun to run into the greenhouse.....and in doing so he has knocked over seedlings (boooooooo hooooooooooo)

soooooooooooo my question is, thumbs up or thumbs down??

[jacob marley]

Do you mean the dog or the plant's.
the plants can be saved as long as the stems are not broken .
I would sugest that you put some thing like a bread tray across the doorway and keep the hound out...jacob

[selfraising]

I think he should have a reprieve for now and be let out early on good behaviour. My dog has just discovered my sheeps wool slug pellets and has decided he likes the taste of them yuk!!

I'm debating the same thing with my son.

The great big lumox sent a tray of young giant aster flying this morning

[Safhyre]

well I will put something in front of the greenhouse, sadly learnt too late
I will admit, peppers/courgettes/BNS and cuc ok
but leaks and spring onion lost...oh and some lettuce

[TEB]

Give it 30 minutes and you'll be saying what a good boy he is

Ps the dog not the lummox

My bunny not only got into the greenhouse and knocked over trays but also ate the seedlings and dug in the soil. Then he did the cutesy eyes, head to one side and (muddy) paws on my lap 'sowwy mummy' look. He knows I'm a sucker for it...

[Safhyre]

lol...guess he is going to be forgiven
so its............ thumbs up

My luverly dog daisy is always treading on things, running into places she shouldn't dispite my best efforts i am sure she thinks she is helping because as soon as i get the shed key she is there with her tongue hanging out tail wagging as she knows it is digging holes time.
I think you should forgive him, he wouldn't have meant it just wanted to see what was getting all the attention in there.

This is precisely why my allotments are designed around Milo barriers of one description or another.

So now if he tramples anything, it must be my fault and don't anyone opt for thumbs down for me please

[FionaH]

At least you have a fighting chance of training the dog, dont get me started about our cat lol

[allotmentlady]

hmmm forgive him and put a barrier so he cannot go running in their again? dogs dont understand, thankfully I have small dogs, so that worry isnt a worry lol....

plenty of time to sow more seeds!

Chickens got in under the netting and scratched about in the salad bed the other day - my fault really, as I let them in there over the winter, and didn't pin the bottom of the netting down as I usually do.

Luckily they didn't do too much damage, though my neatly-sown spinach and mesclun seeds are probably now scattered all over the bed!

[SueA]

I have to remember to put netting across the front of my mini greenhouse when I have seedlings etc. in there or else the cat climbs in & goes to sleep on top of them, nice & cosy in there!

My dog once found his way into the greenhouse and ate a tray full of leeks and it was too late in the season to sow more, so a leekless winter. I allowed him to live... but it was touch and go.
