Gardening Thursday and 500th Post


Kitties, this is my 500th post!      Here's a demo of how excited I am about it.   Maybe if a bunch of you came over and we could race around and go crazy with fresh nip I would get more into the feel of a celebration.


:: 3 Paw Taps::

On to gardening!  
The weather is hot here (as in much of the USA) which is de-energizing for kitties and humans alike.       But the plants seem to like it!   So long as Dad is diligent with his watering, because we have not had rain in a while.  

This is what our lettuce leaves look like.   Mom says they will eat some tonight.

But the basil is being very slow for some reason.     

Oregano and Parsley started as plants from the garden center, not as seeds, and are growing well.

And the catnip plant is spreading all over.

Mom just loves the impatiens at this time of year.   They have filled out but are not yet too leggy.

Happy Thursday to all and I hope you are not having uncomfortably hot or cold weather.

    Congratulations on your 500th post - that is worth of a celebration, surely ? Just a small pile of nip anyway.

    The garden looks great. The shade from your trees helps. It is hot, hot, hot here but I keep watering my tomatoes and petunias.
