My herb garden (4 raised beds) belongs to the three cats and the dog as much as it does to me. They love to keep me company out on the garden bench, and as for squirting them with the hose, they consider that great fun and have a ball playing in the water. The only plant any of them have ever bothered was the catnip (DUH!) and Woofie ate the tops off all the asparagus. Don't ask me why, he can't stand cooked asparagus...

I thoroughly enjoy having the furry children share the shade, and the plants with me. AND they help me dig when I'm adding new plants. Good kids, good company, good fun.
