Yes, that is exactly what it is for. We have a year old pup that has yet to learn that the beds are off limits. She has done a lot of unwanted pruning of plants and trampling.

Coastal, wow that is really great looking garlic. I would never have thought that growing it in a pot would produce such nice large bulbs. I bet the watchdog also helped by keeping all the garlic pests away!

Obviously your pup is just a little too young yet. Mine even mows the lawn a little.

It so often rains a lot here in June, just before garlic harvesting time so, not so good. In the pots if it seems wet and going to rain I can turn pots on their sides and no more rain can fall on the soil in them.

I dug a few more this morning to see how they're coming along. Still small...



...but they're starting to divide. Hard to see in the pic but I can feel individual cloves starting. Progress even though the plants are ugly as sin.
