Sprouts

Despite the intensive post-planting tilling that was provided by my big beasts, I have little sprout coming up all over the place!   I was so skeptical after I saw what the dogs had destroyed.   I definitely have 10-12 cucumber plants up and tons (50 or 60?) what I am right now calling, "Others" because I'm not sure what they are.  They all look similar and I believe they are either zuccini or collard greens.  After planting onions last month, I learned that onions are cold weather crops so I'm not optimistic that those will produce but that's ok.  Live and learn.  The carrots are probably doomed.  They're only supposed to be placed 1/4 inch into the soil and my seeds are probably about 12 INCHES down thanks to my "assistants".  sigh.     This is our first year though so I'm thrilled to have some sproutlets.  I'm sure we will improve the design before the next planting and hopefully figure out a way to keep the dogs O.U.T!  Any ideas are welcome!
