Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2007Oh dear! ;o)
Don't EVER try and plant spring plants in the garden when you are supervised by Miss Lily Whiskers or HRFL Tiger. I have spent today busy planting a whole load of new plants ready for summer. It took me about 4 hours as I had to prepare the flower beds, and water the various plants in. All 60 of them. I planted pansies, foxgloves, poppies and a huge variety of others as I am trying to recreate an insect & butterfly friendly cottage garden. I also planted 2 lavender bushes (which smell heavenly in the evenings) and a small Rowan tree. His Royal Feline Lordship Tiger, Robbie the Ginger Ninja and Miss Lily Whiskers supervised everything I did. They lay on the patio in the sun as I grafted and watered the plants in. When I finished, they carefully sniffed all the new plants and checked that I had done it properly. Then HRFL accompanied me indoors to make a cup of tea. Miss Lily Whiskers stayed in the garden with Robbie, the Ginger Ninja. Everything went quiet. I enjoyed my tea for 20 minutes..... And then I went back out into the garden......to find that Miss Lily Whiskers plastered in dirt and looking very pleased with herself. She had spent a very productive 20 minutes digging up every single bloody plant, supervised by Robbie! I was NOT amused! Miss Lily Whiskers was though. Especially when she got to supervise me planting them for a second time. It's just as well I love her too much to kill her.

It is spring for you and autumn for us. A lot of bulbs are coming up and I am seeing the last of the Monarch butterflies. It was a bad year for the Monarchs this year - we had a plague of small wasps who dined on the babies. The Monarchs main foodsource is the Swan plant and I never have had an intact plant left at the end of summer. This year I have plants intact apart from a few nibbled leaves, sad - hope it will be a better outcome this summer. Your garden sounds delightful.

It's much too cold here in NJ to start working on the garden yet and Woodgie isn't allowed outside for too long or she'd freeze. She doesn't seem to like going out when it's nice, just when it's cold as sin... She likes to sniff at the lavender plants I have outside, but I do not imagine they smell much yet... Brrr...

Reminds me of when my sister had planted some seedlings neatly in a planter inside, to let them grow a bit before she planted them out on the island. Her cat Ronja obviously had her own ideas about gardening. She would pull out the seedlings one by one and set them neatly in a row along the planter, but outside it. This was repeated many times, until the seedlings were so much the worse for wear that my sister gave up on them.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.
