I'm cranky this time

Hi all

I wondered why my parsley plants were disappearing and I think my beloved dog has dug them up. I put them in a pot out in the sun and after the first two went absent I put some wire netting over them but lo and behold she's managed to still get into them. Either her or a bush turkey, and there isn't one left. Would I be better off with seeds? I like the thick curly parsley so is there a good fast growing variety you could recommend? They just seem to take so long. Os should I buy another punnet and put skedaddle around them. (It seemed to work for my bromiliads after that other dog got into them and tore their hearts out). I never thought my darling Carly would do that to me. Jan

LOL

I know how you feel, we have a large black Rottweiler who loves custard apple and always manages to get to them before we do.
She likes mangoes too and sits and sucks on the seed for ages just like a big kid.

Marion, who is thankful that at least she doesn't eat the parsley. YET !!

Yes its hard when the beloved pet does that to your loved plants.
You know over the years I have had a lot of dogs and never have they eaten any plants.
The males have killed a few cocking a leg, and also pulled the washing off the line
I wonder why hummm maybe I was too strict with Obedience from when they were puppies
Well someone has to look after those those beautiful creations .
No idea about which parsley to get seeds or whatever, myself I would get another punnet
Put them in the Ground and maybe a fence of sorts, just an idea. Good luck anyway.
Cheers..MM
