We too have gone through many plants with our dog Asha :) In the early days, we would plant something new only to arrive home and find it pulled out by the roots lying in the middle of the lawn :) Thankfully, Asha seems to be out of that stage now!<br /><br />Rose - thanks for the sweet comment. Paul says I'm a 'glory gardener' - that is, that I have all the ideas but that I'm not the one who does the hard work :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14697932926715802541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-50424306805108941732010-03-03T06:06:43.953+08:002010-03-03T06:06:43.953+08:00Beautiful.

I'm afraid I'm with Flick above - unfortunately Woody, our rather stupid golden retriever, has slowly but surely eaten plants, peed so much the grass is now patchy and chased his tail making mud trails. I will never be showing photo's of my garden while Woody still has legs! <br />I love your agapanthus too - I am so jealous yours is thriving - every year I plant white agapanthas and no matter where I put them every year they fail! <br />Well done,<br />Sam xSamantha2818https://www.blogger.com/profile/16696352521361347405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-64609560401048398262010-03-02T21:11:31.662+08:002010-03-02T21:11:31.662+08:00You've got a lovely big garden Amanda.
