We Have A Garden!! And The Winner Of Our Nature's Logic Give-Away Has Been Selected!



Hi everyone it's Cody! Mom  and I are so excited to be taking part in our first Thursday gardening post!

Mom has wanted to try growing a container garden on our balcony for quite some time now. She wasn't sure if it would work, so she let a number of summers go by without planting one. Not this year!!

Mom's friend Cheryl, came over last week and helped Mom plant a container garden!! I have to take you on a tour from the inside because I am strictly an indoor kitty. It will still be fun! C'mon!!

We have a small balcony on second floor


Here is another view
Yet another!! These are cherry tomato plants and romaine lettuce
On the left are sugar snap peas!!
Catnip!! I can smell it now!
Wait til you see this next week
It has already gotten sooo much bigger!
Mom is proud of her brainiac idea
of turning a useless footstool
into a plant stand
Simple minds, simple pleasures, ya know?

These are pepper plants, at least I hope they are lol
We have planted sweet peppers and hot peppers
They have already gotten so much larger
and of course a plaque about cats
One of our tomato plants
We planted cherry tomatoes and Roma tomatoes
I am amazed because these pictures were taken a week ago and already everything has grown sooo much! When I show you our garden next week, you won't believe your eyes!

Thank you for joining me on my very first garden tour!

 I will try and make next week's better! Be sure to visit Jonesie and his garden here

He is a master gardener and really knows what he is doing!

Now...on to some more fun stuff!

Mom went to www.random.org and picked the winner of the
I am sooo excited to tell you who won!

It

was


"CONCATULATIONS" DAISY!

Daisy is a girl-kitty after my own heart!  She requested canned rabbit! Rabbit!

 Do you believe it? Daisy and I BOTH eat rabbit!!

 We are cats with discriminating taste that is for sure! In the unlikely event you don't know Daisy you should really check out her blog here, she wears lots of pretty clothes and has a fun kitty brother named Harley. She is so much fun to follow! Now that she eats rabbit like I do, I'd pretty much follow her anywhere!

Thanks to all who entered!!

Have a great day and be sure to "stop and smell the roses!!!"

Love, Cody

  2. Cody dear,
    My Mama is soooo jealous of your mom's garden. We can't start our after we've finished unpacking our boxes. I used to have a thriving garden in Sydney...I really am missing it. Have fun in the garden, Cody. And don't you dare poop in the pot. Cat poo can be harmful to the plants as it has too much ammonia. Dunno, my Mama told me that to prevent me fertilising my garden last time. purrr....meow!

  11. Oh dear, your garden is so beautiful and useful, Cody! Your mom is a wonderful gardener. My mom doesn't have any green fingers at all, we have some lemongrass, chillies, screwpines and basil. Not a wonderful garden but at least she can use them for cooking.

    Thanks for taking us the garden tour, it's lovely! Can't wait to see them grow bigger and bigger.

  16. What a nice garden. TW has 2 plants on MY windowsill: catnip and basil. The basil is very annoying cos I can't walk across the sill. In their old house, they had a huge garden and hanging fuschia & bleeding hearts on the porch. Nicky told me how beautiful it was in a dream. Gotta get TW to scan those piccies. Lots of luck with your garden.

  20. Wow, awesome garden! I just planted my first ever patch of garden last week, too. I can't believe how much it's grown since then either. It's all so new and exciting!! And I'm so happy to hear about the Thursday gardening posts 'cause I'm new at this and need all the help I can get it. :)

  21. @Pat, NOPE!! I didn't forget catnip! It's there! I thought I photographed it, did I photograph the wrong plant? If I did you will see it next week for sure! I DID plant catnip! :)

    @Weetzie THANK YOU!! I am sooo excited that you planted a garden too! I have always wanted to and never have til now. I am new at this too and need all the help I can get as well! So glad you will be learning with me! xoxoxo

    @Carla lol you silly!! thanks sooooo much!! Yeah! "grow baby grow!!"

    @Amin thanks so much!

    @The Bunch and Phillip, I am so sorry you missed the contest, hopefully there will be more! We love Daisy as well and are so happy she won! Thanks about the garden!

    @Brian, you are sooo silly!! So what's wrong with a little crabgrass? lol

    @Cathy I would soooo love to see photos of your old garden, I bet it was just beautiful! It sounds as if it sure was! Nothing wrong with catnip and basil either...just tiptoe around it! :)

    @Boomie, oh yes!! I was watching out the patio window at the leaves blowing. I was watching my catnip grow. Can't wait to have it. I sure hope that hummingbirds will come, that will be great! Love, Cody

    @The Chair Speaks, "neat" for now! Let's hope it stays neat! Thanks so much!

    @The Whiskeratti, noooo it's fun to grow things! My Mom is pretty good with plants so she is hoping she has good luck with veggies too!

    @Bailey, thank you!! We didn't realize how much you can do with limited space til we did some reading and saw other people's gardens. We will be sooo excited to eat the veggies!

    @Eva are you kidding? Your garden sounds wonderful!! Lemongrass, chillies (however you spell it! lol) but what are screwpines? We LOVE basil! Mom is using her garden for salads too (if we get enough). I think I forgot to say we have Greek Oregano growing too! xoxo

  27. You really made amazing use of your small space. The hanging plants look so pretty.

  28. Sorry it's taken me so long to come by and see your garden. It takes a lot of talent to grow so much in a small space in containers!

    Pee Ess...I'm a girl kitty! I know my name is kinda like a boys name...and I do like dirt and stuff, but I'm pure girlie!

  31. Good luck with your garden. We tried last year, but the squirrels got there just before harvest time...over and over.

    We've since decided we're the kind of people who support farmers, not emulate them :)
