Are there any plants that will deter dogs from entering the garden?
I am trying to set up a cottage garden across the back fence. All the seedlings get trampled on and broken by our young dogs as they run and play. The yard is huge and they are only small dogs, so there is plenty of room for them to play elsewhere. Its so frustrating to spend so much money, time, and effort to plant a nice garden only to have it trampled on and torn apart. Yes, I know I could put up fence, but I will have to save enough money for this. Meanwhile, I am working on training them to stay out. During this training and until I get a fence, are there any plants that will deter them from entering the garden? — e.g., things dogs don’t like the smell of, I don’t want to go with cactus or spikey plants that would injure. The “get off my garden” sprays, etc. don’t work and I cannot afford to keep on trying the various brands. Thanks for your help.
I don’t know if this will work on dogs, but I know we have a problem with squirrels digging up bulbs. I solved it by mixing black pepper in the top soil! A few “snoot fulls” and the squirrels went elsewhere!

The Beauties of a Cottage Garden $5.39 <p>This is a celebration of the beauties and possibilities of Heliotrope and Honeysuckle, Auricula, Snapdragon, Spanish Iris and Corydalis, and all the other plants that enliven and exalt the gardens of England. Gertrude Jekyll gives good advice on how to make a garden a place of repose and pleasure. Writing with enthusiasm on the colours and scents of flowers, on the frustrations (and delights) of weeding and on the debasing influence of flower shows, she is practical, wise and entertaining in equal measure.</p><p> </p><p> <b>Generations of inhabitants have helped shape the English countryside but it has profoundly shaped us too.It has provoked a huge variety of responses from artists, writers, musicians and people who live and work on the land as well as those who are travelling through it.<i>English Journeys </i>celebrates this long tradition with a series of twenty books on all aspects of the countryside, from stargazey pie and country churches, to mans relationship with nature and songs celebrating the patterns of the countryside (as well as ghosts and love-struck soldiers).</b></p> |

Rose Cottage $10.9 When Kate Herrick’s grandmother asks her to travel down from Scotland to her childhood home in Todhall to retrieve some papers and family mementoes before Rose Cottage is sold, Kate is happy enough to go, but curious as to the changes she may find there. Widowed in the recent war this is the summer of 1947 and comfortably settled now in London, she is in some doubt as to how the village will receive her. Rose Cottage a tiny thatched dwelling with fragrant roses in the garden is unchanged, and the villagers seem friendly. But there is evidence of a break-in at the cottage, and then her nearest neighbours, three elderly ladies from what the villagers call Witches’ Corner’, come with tales of night-time prowlers in the cottage garden, and even ghosts. In the process of solving the mystery, Kate finds romance. |
