I tried chard last year in hanging pots off of my deck and the squirrels climbed the stairs, skulked across the screened porch to the deck railing, went across the deck railing and down to get to the chard. I planted some more today....we'll see how long it lasts.Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-7127017817440077032010-09-19T15:29:58.693-04:002010-09-19T15:29:58.693-04:00I got tired of the slugs & other questionable ...I got tired of the slugs & other questionable insects feasting on my swiss chard. This year I planted it in hanging baskets (oval galvanized tubs) that I hung on my front porch. A gardening friend laughed at me & said the plants would never have enough room. I got the last laugh. I harvested beautiful chard from May until last week. We ate chard OFTEN and had plenty to give away to friends at work. If you want pics & can supply them.

But I have a community garden, which is great, but the bad part is that there is no fence to protect anybody's garden from being poached.<br /><br />So, I have "people on the prowl for free food" to look after, and of course the bugs.<br /><br />At least in your case, since you think it was the dog, you can put him in the dog house. :DSingle Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500812106320253932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-48020273594861890452010-09-17T09:17:05.870-04:002010-09-17T09:17:05.870-04:00It takes alot of training to keep a dog out of you...It takes alot of training to keep a dog out of your garden, and lots of patience too!

My peas aren't up yet, I need to go check them this morning - then I have to cover them right away so the birds don't take them - they are only vulnerable until they get the second set of leaves!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-14411276258101962312010-09-17T03:15:42.929-04:002010-09-17T03:15:42.929-04:00You know, the same thing happened to our pepper pl...You know, the same thing happened to our pepper plant and our marigolds. <br />http://nycgardening.blogspot.com/2010/07/who-stole-my-marigolds.html<br /><br />http://nycgardening.blogspot.com/2010/08/thieves-in-garden.html<br /><br /> We don't have dogs, so I'm thinking maybe a squirrel did it.meemsnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584936035577822444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-8854384005592628022010-09-17T00:22:50.118-04:002010-09-17T00:22:50.118-04:00Sorry to hear about your chard.

If there was enough time, I would totally send you some chard seeds, but I guess it's too late to start them from seeds now. <br /><br />Your peas look amazing. My pea seedling got eaten alive (literally!) by cutworms. I've been so upset about it that I couldn't even blog about it, yet. Maybe next week.thyme2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512569281844698265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-15139043011381202452010-09-16T21:30:09.423-04:002010-09-16T21:30:09.423-04:00Disappearing veggie plants are the worst!
