This easy table modification all started because we live in cow country and where you have cows, you have flies. They drive me crazy in the summer so I am always looking for ways to deter them. The other day I was at OSH and the sales lady said that most herbs are a natural fly repellent. That got me thinking and this project was born. Now the jury is still out if this works on the flies but I love the end results anyway.
Preparing a Garden for a Puppy
28.06.2023 - 11:48 / treehugger.com
We have a new puppy joining our family at the beginning of next month. So today, I thought it would be a good time to write about preparing a garden for a puppy. For the puppy's safety and for your own sanity, it is important to make sure that you have puppy-proofed the space before any new canine companions arrive.
There are two sides, really, to preparing a garden for a puppy. On the one side, and most importantly, we must make sure that the garden is secure and safe for your new addition.
On the other side, it can also be prudent to think about how you can protect prized plants in your garden from your little rampager. And how your garden can be altered to make your job easier when training a young pup. Below are my tips for both of these sides of the equation.
When you first take a look at a garden when preparing for a puppy, a good place to begin is with the garden boundaries. Of course if your puppy will have the run of the space, you need to make sure that he won't be able to escape.
Puppies may be able to fit through the smallest of spaces, and escape-artists could endanger themselves on roads, or even in neighbors' gardens. It is vital to make sure there are not any small gaps in fences or under gates that puppies will be able to slip through. Make any necessary adjustments or repairs before the new puppy arrives.
Next, of course, you need to look around your garden and think about any potential dangers to your new canine companion.
There may be structures or elements in your garden that pose a physical threat to puppies who may charge around and be rather uncoordinated at first. Try to look at your garden like a puppy to see what danger they might be able to get themselves into.

If there’s one thing that gets my goat, its, what’s in and what’s out in gardening. Now honestly I don’t want to alienate myself, of course everyone’s entitled to an opinion but don’t you sometimes think there is a bit of inverted snobbery going on. I have always loved gardens and gardening, I like the subtle garden with foliage of different hues and perhaps white flowers giving that relaxed feeling. I am mad about the Summer mixed perennial borders which give that great to be alive feeling. The Rose borders are charming, the Scottish Heather borders can look great. Here’s the crunch, I absolutely also love the in your face loud, brash, garish front gardens which are packed with blindingly bright Summer bedding, makes me smile, makes me laugh. Picture of our front garden, I promise it was once more packed when the flower borders were wider than this. Whats not to like.
