Thursday Gardening Post



::3 Paw Taps::

As you can tell by the last photos I have posted, I am spending much more time on the deck in my Feline Funhouse, with the doorway open. Dad has planted the impatiens window boxes and today he was seeding some bare parts of the lawn. But we don't have good pictures to show you. Instead, we will show you what Mom WISHES would grow in our garden:


These lovely roses came to her from my human sister as a belated Mother's Day gift (because they were away on Mother's Day). She thinks they are such a beautiful color! The roses came from Proflowers and, true to their promise" have lasted a week already. We just do not have enough sun in any part of our garden to grow roses, so they are a very special treat.

Now I would like to take a moment to draw your attention to the picture of TK at the top of my sidebar. Dear TK has had diabetes since his human got him, but now his insulin is no longer doing the trick. They could sure use your purrs and prayers and a visit. TK and his sister Squashies have a nice blog, and have traveled all the way to Florida in their new camper van with their Mom. They are really cool kitties.

Update: Things are looking better for TK. Go to his bloggie to read about it.

  18. Mom used to have a terrible green thumb when it came to roses and then she discovered knock out roses. O.M.Cod...was she ever happy. You should see our rose bed there are hundreds of roses on it ... these knock outs are very tolerant to (non gardeners) people like our Mom. She can't kill them and basically just needs to enjoy them. Of course we have full sun exposure. Now Mom can enjoy looking at her roses.
    We are purring for TK who is such a sweetie.

    Those are beautiful roses. The Human could not grow anything like that if her life depended on it. Thank Cod the park is near. Nice roses there. No one relies on the Human to take care of them, MOL!
