Needless to say I have been gone for quite some time. I was trying to figure out how to approach the hurdle in my garden this year. Finally at a wedding this past weekend a friend of mine who I guess had been reading my blog finally asked and I was left with telling the truth about what has kept me away for so long. I tried to think of any other way of putting it but there was no better way so I finally said, "My dog ate my garden." Yes he did the stereotypical thing of uprooting plants and the such but he also ate the plants. If you must know I am referring to the Weimaraner that we have....Orion. It all started after I gave him a corn cob as a treat one day. The next few days I kept seeing him close to the beautiful corn plants and then finally without warning in a thirty minute span they were gone all 16. Then went the bean plants and so on. When I finally arrived home to the devastation I too was devastated. No longer was I going to have food from my garden. Okay well that is a stretch, as I guess the prickly leaves of the squash plants drove him away and protected not only both of my pumpkin plants and zucchini plants but also two of my pepper plants that are struggling to survive. Lesson learned you must keep dogs away from gardens and homework! I was however excited to pick my first zucchini plant today and I will try to keep a better update of what is happening to my remaining plants.
