Teddy's Organic Garden - The Dog Squad

Teddy was diagnosed in March with congestive heart failure. As a part of his treatment, we decided to add more veggies to his diet. We started looking into planting a garden. Our plantable yard is small so we also looked into vertical planting, raised beds and hanging plants. Here are our ideas so far:

First decide what you are going to plant.

pet safe fruit and veggies — Here is a list of safe and off limits fruits and vegetables from the ASPCA

vertical gardening — Vertical and planter box gardening is very popular right now if you don’ t have a lot of space. This really works for smaller yards

planter beds — If you are planting veggies, I love these wine crates for a shabby chic look

Another great idea for herbs (maybe just for you) is to plant them in antique metal tea canisters:

This is a nifty way to organize your seed packets. Just put them in ziplock baggies with paper inside letting you know when they were purchased and what they are. Or you can purchase 4” starter plants to get going.
