He seems to grow before my eyes! Your gardens are so beautiful - I would hate to see you lose any plants in the heat. The temps are mind-blowing out West. Meanwhile we've been treated to unusually regular rainfall. Since I haven't installed an irrigation system in the backyard yet I'm counting my lucky stars.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351617444186870485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991718686765766708.post-56245879224162326872021-07-12T17:50:41.391-04:002021-07-12T17:50:41.391-04:00Such a cute puppy.

Luckily I still have the front yard where I can use a wider range of plants since he's only out there on a leash. Even on a leash you have to watch him as he nips leaves and flowers off nearly everything he walks past.

Landscaping and gardens are always 'in process'; after many changes through the years our backyard was in need of a major overhaul.

I had no idea so many plants like tulips and daffodils were toxic to dogs! And, I have little dogs --- Scotties. I guess I was lucky that Fibber MacGee stayed away from eating plants while wondering the yard. I will be a little more careful too on the container plants on the deck, although all but the trailing ones are beyond reach of our 6-month puppy Whiskey.Debbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303527125934756041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991718686765766708.post-69763733031736410752021-06-23T21:09:48.661-04:002021-06-23T21:09:48.661-04:00Sandra,

Second, I am jealous of your beautiful landscaping. I have dreams of one day having something similar on our property but we are still working on the house so much and cutting down trees so it may be a few more years.
