Well I got all of my tomatoes planted. Everything was looking great until about day 4. I woke up that morning to let the dog out and put her on her lead. When I walked out the back door, I could see she had dug up the first part of the closest row that she could reach.
Killed two plants and made a mess of things. I had to rebuild that part of the row, and buy replacement plants. Then on Saturday, I wake up and dammit she had come close to doing it again.
So for now I've shortened her lead so she can't get back there. Going to build a fence around the plot so when she gets her invisible fence collar, she won't be able to dig in the garden.

I've mentioned the sweet success cucumber variety in here a few times. The only reason I'm so high on it is because it's parthenocarpic and I don't have a lot of bees. I've got two of those in the ground already, but I also planted a couple of pickling varieties from this website:
cucumbers
I planted the Zyatek, Masha, and Aprelskiy. All are parthenocarpic or gynoecious. They take about 10 days to come via mail, but the prices are really good and they definitely gave me more than 20 seeds per pack. Time will tell about production, but I've read a lot about these Ukrainian varieties online and they're supposedly much more disease resistant than standard varieties. Just wanted to share the info in case anybody else was interested.
