Once upon a time there was a little girl who grew up in the desert. Her Mom taught her everything she knew about growing plants. As the little girl grew up almost every place she lived, she would have a garden. Even living in apartments she found a way to grow veggies in pots.
Then one day the little girl got puppies.
Yes that is one of the little monsters. Her Brother is camera shy, and they did this to her garden. Actually Katara is the culprit.
Her Brother Sokka is the digger, and he is not digging for cool place to lay. Anyway back to the story. For the longest time the puppies left the garden alone, because it was surrounded by bird netting. Katara discovered that if she pulled on the netting, she could put a hole in it big enough to get through. Katara started on the tomato plants first. Since the little girl knew that the tomato plant is from the nightshade family, and also read that the plant can damage the liver, the little girl decided to pull up the tomato plants.
Well without any tomato plants to chew on, Katata found the eggplant to chew on. This plant was also not good to chew on since it was also giving the puppy the runs, so the little girl pulled up the eggplant also. The squash was already attacked in August by a small grub the little girl had never seen before. She will use diatomaceous earth on the squash stock more often next time.
The little girl realized that the puppy has a need to chew on plants, so instead of punishing the puppy, the little girl decided to make the puppy her own garden.
The little girl discovered that Katara likes to lay in this spot, so she is planting herbs to start out. Two mint plants in the front, and one basil in the back. The little girl figures that once the mint takes holed, it will be difficult for the puppy to destroy it.
Ok yes, I decided to use the bird netting. I only need it to survive her a couple of weeks. I need to use the garden fence for the garden.
THE END
