I went outside this morning to find that my dogs had spent their morning meticulously digging almost every strawberry start out of its new home. Maybe for fun? Maybe to munch on the seaweedy/fishy fertilizer I'd dipped the roots in? I don't know.
In any case, Elliott practically had to hold me back from beating them. In an attempt to calm me down, Elliott took me to Home Depot to buy some bird netting and hooks to keep the dogs (and birds) out of my garden. It actually looks pretty professional and I will probably keep it up until the peas start to get too tall and grow through it.
Update: It's been a few days and I'm still not sure I've forgiven the girls. Even with the netting up, I still caught them pawing at it and trying to get in...Luckily, Elliott's handiwork seems to be doing its job and the strawberry starts are still in their places.
