The garden

This is how our fountain is looking now. I planted the flowers around it on Monday, but that night I got no sleep! I was so worried about Murray getting into it and digging up the flowers. I dreamt that it all got smashed and the pot broke...and then I dreamt that all the plants got dug up. I even got up at 3:45 and looked out to see if it was all still there. It was, and in the morning it was unchanged! By the afternoon, Murray had dug up one Dahlia on the middle right side. I grabbed him and dragged him over to the hole and growled at him. He whimpered and slunk away. I am determined not to give up on having a garden, just because we have a dog! He WILL learn! and I'm stubborn, so...
Here are my beans at the bottom, the pumpkins in the middle (they are taking over the whole garden:) ) Two sunflowers survived on the left side, and my peas are doing great on the right.
I planted marigolds in with my tomatoes, it's supposed to keep the bugs away. There are two tomatoes on each of the bottom four plants.
