So I have been inspired to start my first ever backyard garden! BUT, as my friend so eloquently put it, "Sky's gonna eat your flowers.." Any ideas for flowers that are non-toxic for dogs, and ways to keep her from pulling them up??

I am planning to start from scratch with seeds, but she LOVES to straight-up eat dirt, even out of pots. Any advice is greatly appreciated

how much sun will your location get? If you'll get full sun, cosmos are a great flower. They won't bloom until probably late June-July (looking at your location.....here they don't bloom until mid August) and last a LONG time. They get 2-3ft tall and will reseed themselves. AND, they aren't water hogs or picky about soil.

hmmm honestly I'm not sure how much sun it gets during the day, i was assuming full sun since there is no covering in my backyard or anything. i went and bought some seeds today, i'm going to start them inside for a while and then put them outside once they aren't so vulnerable

There is a whole gardening sub-forum on here somewhere. I think at one time or the other we talked about favorite plants for sun and for shade and I'm sure we discussed how to keep the pups out of our beds.

You should start your own thread with now and later pics of your garden!

We grow peppers in our raised be garden. We got Blaze last July and he really did not bother the plants much. I guess we will wait and see this summer.

On my phone, sorry.
Go to off topic and u will see a gardening sub form I will move this post there unless some admin does it first. Lots of info there and I think a list/link to bad plants. I will post more later

Moved to the gardening sub-forum. Can't wait for the day I can start working on my garden again, a number of my plants have started putting on some new growth and budding prematurely already.
