I've heard them called "walking onions" in the past. :-)
The Border Collie has cut my patch size down a bit so I did not harvest
any this year. I let them all go to top sets, and re-fenced an area off
for them.


My McNabb's penchant for rutting in the lettuce patch was curbed with a
motion activated sprinkler. Smart dogs.

In her case, it's not a matter of rutting in the veggies.

It's a matter of "running with the demons". ;-)

BC's are very active dogs.

A hotwire kept her off the fenceline.


Hope you have a good sized yard. Our short-haired Border collie (McNabb)
will come running up the hill and then he runs out of hill and just
keeps going up, like in a cartoon. Smart dog. They can read eye commands
very well. He plays the weirdest game of Frisbee. He fights you for it,
then when it's throw, he chases it down and then proceeds to beat the
snot out of it for ten, fifteen minutes. Then he comes back and taunts
you with it again. A sweet dog who is always plotting with our German
shepherd on how to score on the cat's bowl or our dinner, if we give
them the opportunity.
