With a largish area like that it wouldn't require a massive effort to put a chicken mesh fence around it to keep dogs off. Doesn't need to be anything elaborate just a few canes threaded through the mesh and bunged into the soil.

Watch what you are doing with cardboard paths though as they can get quite slippy. Tread lightly and you should be OK though. I was going to mention a keyhole garden but think they are quite a bit of work to set up. A raised one would keep the mutts off!

I've tried the chicken wire fences before but, if the dogs can't jump over summat, they put their noses under and burrow beneath! I've had to resort of baby/dog pen fencing that I scrounge on Freecycle. 
I've also done the Bambi on Ice impersonation on slippy cardboard. Luckily, nobody was watching.  Thanks for reminding me - I'll put grass cuttings/leaves/twigs on top.

Re your rising sun plan, do you mean something like this?

   

    More like this with the sun in a corner.

If the white bits are the paths its going to be like hopscotch trying to get back after travelling to the centre of the Sun!

Its alright, I've gone off the idea anyway.

It was very pretty though.

I've dug into my memory bank and remembered Gertrud Franck's book on Companion Planting. She grew rows of spinach between her crop rows. Once the spinach had grown, it was cut down and left as a mulch to walk on. Grass cuttings and soft leaves were added to the spinach paths. The following year, she would move her rows over a bit so that she planted crops in the spinach row (which had composted and improved the soil) and she would grow spinach where the crops had grown.
This means that half of the plot is mulched with spinach every year and the mulch stops weeds germinating between the crop rows.
Who knows, I may be growing in rows next year!!

You mentioned 'Rows' six times in that paragraph!  Did you have to look up what a 'row' was!

Ah but rows don't have to be straight, do they? Veggie's rows are bound to be wiggly

Vinny, I'm practising saying it as its not a word I relate to whether it with oars, with disagreements or with plants etc. How can a simple 3 letter word have so many meanings.? No wonder I don't understand it!!

Jen, I've been wondering how I'm going to make them straight - may start looking for 10' bamboo canes to lay down as a guide.

NB I haven't used the R word once in this post.
