Our garden is in small sections and still being landscaped. The dogs have the garden behind the house which is partly surfaced with deep small gravel which they seem to like; they lie in the sun on it etc., because it's soft.

We have another section above a retaining wall that is too small to lay out in grass, not right for gravel, too windy for bark-chips, too big for just shrubs :blink: :blink: :blink:

Any suggestions?

AND ANOTHER THING :rant: why do whippets eat flowers when they've just had a POUND OF STINKY TRIPE :lol:
 
Violets. Tesa use to love to lay in ours, and they were hardy. Would imagine that would do well in your climate.
 
Hardy Geraniums are ideal , Even if the dogs lay on them , they come back year after year and have lots of lovely different colours too , , and they will spread if not checked ,Some of mine i cut back whhne they have finished flowering and they flower a second time .

What about Pelargoniums (?sp) are these OK or toxic?
 
How about some large pebbles? Violet grow here in Melbourne like mad, I am not sure they do the same in UK though. My violets are growing over the driveway and a concrete path.

Pelargoniums are ok , but wouldnt tak a pounding from whippets , and they wouldnt tollerate the frost either , they re more of an annual , potted plant really , Ideal for tubs and baskets ;)
