I almost forgot. Here's the fenceline where I want to plant the rugosas. The dogs have such a great view of all the foot traffic since we're near a busy side street. They bark at everything & everyone, so I need to block their view & keep them from getting right upon the fence. I can't afford a privacy fence & figure they'd try to dissemble it anyway.

Notice that I saved my new roses by laying cinderblocks around them to keep Kai from spraying the plants. Maybe the ph was too low, because they seem to have taken off since laying the blocks; unless spraying was the problem. I have chicken wire spread out on the ground under the wood chips to keep the dogs from digging up the rosebushes. It works!

Yeah, Kai looks innocent, but get too close & he'll give ya' a tongue bath -- all over your face. : P
