We’re back with yet another handy little gardening tip.
If you do manage to get all those little baby plants in those tiny little paper cups all safely planted into the ground, there is an additional precaution you must take if you have any sort of animal or live anyplace where are any sort of animals. You see, animals may not know you just planted those little babies. Some animals, with huge feet and ears the size of Dumbo, who are also hard of hearing, will not hear when you yell at them. No, they will just go on ahead and trample all the freaking baby plants you nurtured from seeds and carefully just planted. They will stomp on your parsley. They will kill your dill. They will destroy your lavender.
Yes, the dumb, lumpy, old dog who will be 14 in a few shot weeks, roamed right through my newly planted herbs and vegetables. He is lucky that I have decided to let him live to see another birthday. I have started putting up barricades, while singing the barricade song from Les Miserables. If, in spite of my barriers, he manages to kill off my few remaining plants, his days on this earth are numbered…
That was supposed to be “short weeks” not shot. A Freudian slip?
Poor little plants. Dogs have a way of screwing up everything. Gotta love them though.
Hey, at least it’s the dog killing them. I’m pretty good at doing it myself.
he done kill the dill? unforgivable! O.K. since he’s 14 you gotta let it slide but by golly he needs some re-training ;D
