Like, I know not to go into the raised veggie bed even when the lizards hide out there. Frustrating! And I know to leave the potted plants alone. But if a plant is growing straight out of the ground and there's no fence around it, it's fair lizard hunting area :D That was the compromise Mom and I made :)<br /><br />Waggin at ya,<br />Roo<br /><br />PeeS: Great photos of Ms. M :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-26712058559991277392011-06-03T03:07:26.012-05:002011-06-03T03:07:26.012-05:00We do love the picture of Miss M looking over her ...We do love the picture of Miss M looking over her shoulder like: it was and has always been the plant who started it! <br />I do know how to pull that face too not for plants but for SKETCH books!!!

I've had varying degrees of luck with herbs. I had a giant tarragon plant that kept coming back out in the little herb garden I had outside the kitchen window, but it got so beastly, I had to pull the whole thing out. I do love having fresh herbs around, though!houndstoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159272473651561647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-43190811147507462132011-06-02T10:44:40.106-05:002011-06-02T10:44:40.106-05:00I undertook a couple raised garden beds in our bac...I undertook a couple raised garden beds in our backyard a few years ago. Two minutes after building, mixing soil and getting the beds all ready for starts and seeds, I was triumphantly washing my hands in the kitchen. I looked out and there was Maggie, on her back, wiggling in the dirt. As proud as I was at undertaking my first garden, she was equally thrilled with the fresh dirt. The very next day, we put a small fence around our garden and until Hurley, that worked well. Now the little bugger can squeeze through the fence. I'm counting on him growing super fast to take care of that problem!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927341583121637250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-3125465059266375412011-06-02T10:13:51.143-05:002011-06-02T10:13:51.143-05:00We have lots of herbs growing outside!

Otherwise . . . So we've basically got heat and pee resistant tropical plants, mostly perennials :) Mom would really love some herbs, basil, dill and cilantro are her faves! She's got a basil plant on the back deck in the shade. She hasn't been able to find cilantro or dill. Everyone tells her it's too hot to grow it here. Indoor might work - IF she remembered to water it! BOL<br /><br />Those are great pots!

This year, however, we had our starter plants on the back porch waiting to be planted and my<br />Husband put some fish food on the plants. I guess they thought we hid their fish treats in the plats because down they all came from the ledge....and off to the nursery we went to buy new ones.....<br />We love having herbs and being able to make pesto. And salsa. And mojitos.....lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16118116354499796264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-22594020159561476852011-06-02T07:48:50.047-05:002011-06-02T07:48:50.047-05:00Maisie eats grass constantly, so I'm sure she&...Maisie eats grass constantly, so I'm sure she'd do the same with plants if given the opportunity.

We actually have several plants in pots on the floor that the dogs avoid entirely. This is a welcome change from our family dogs growing up, who loved to dig up gardens, eat house plants, and steal potted herbs. Cute pots, by the way! I saw those when we were in Portland and really wanted to take some home but we didn't have any room in our suitcases. Oh well, maybe next time we head to the Bolingbrook IKEA we can pick some up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-3185071202458535932011-06-02T07:11:48.672-05:002011-06-02T07:11:48.672-05:00If I can keep my flower pot on the balcony alive, ...If I can keep my flower pot on the balcony alive, Im graduating to herbs, which is what I REALLY want. I dont know how you got those awesome pics, but Mr. B licking his lips and Miss M not even looking at the herbs is cracking me up. We have a bamboo plant in the house which I put on our new Ikea coffee table and left the house. Havi never shows interest in anything, so I didnt think twice. Except when i came home and Havi had knocked over the glass vase and scratched the 24 hour old table. Luckily, Ikea is replacing it. But definitely need to work with Havi on that!Two Grad Students and a Pittiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13269935614694788118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-97522010308202492011-06-02T07:06:16.569-05:002011-06-02T07:06:16.569-05:00Love the new pots!
