Hey everyone! So yesterday my dog jumped into my garden where I just transplanted tomatoes and planted other seeds. He dug around and messed everything up, and now I'm worried none of my plants will survive. I'm not sure if I should wait a couple weeks to see if anything grows, dig everything up and start fresh, or just buy some already grown plants and put them in now. I'm definitely putting up a fence to prevent this in the future! What do you think?

Also, consider giving your dog a designated digging area. Dogs are crafty when it comes to fences! And remember, if you take away something they enjoy, replace it with something they'll love to keep them distracted.
I recommend replanting your seeds. I had a similar issue with squirrels digging in my garden, and nothing grew after that. It’s really tough to salvage jumbled seeds, so starting over might be the best bet!
That’s a good idea! He’s only about 15 months old, and I sometimes forget how young he is. He’s usually so good with the kids, but I guess I should’ve planned better since it was a fresh garden!
