Thanks Deb. My DH was so nice, and put up a big fence around the area to keep the dogs out, since apparently that is the only way I'm going to be able to grow anything around here. Found out yesterday that the pup can crawl right through the metal tube gate, so I put field fence on the bottom half. Worked like a charm! It worked so well that my DH was using the new garden area as a big dog run today, since the pup also couldn't get out.
I just need to remember to take before and after pictures.
