Wednesday in the Garden with The Baby

Kitties!

::meow::

The Baby here.
Do you see me? 

Ta Daa!!!  Here I am!
I was hunting lizards in the Lantana.

Come with me on down to the other end of the yard, I want to show you what Daddy did earlier this week. 
He put in a Fall vegetable garden!

Here in the desert it's possible to get a second crop of veggies, so Daddy planted kale, butter lettuce, tomatoes, purple bell peppers...and catnip, of course.  This is the first year he's tried this...he and Mommy are excited to see what's gonna grow--Mommy is dreaming about fresh organic salads already.
I think everything is growing pretty well.

Now I have other, more important Catly things to do!

Like nap under the arborvitae while Mommy has a cuppa joe and reads her book. 

But first, I need some pets...


Kitties, we have an announcement:  Mommy is OFF WORK for the next sixteen days, and she has declared a sporadic blogcation!  We said it was OK, just this one time...possibly we were bribed just a tiny bit by the thought of all the extra lap and play time.  (Not that they'd ever admit to it--ed)  Mommy will be zipping down to Tucson to see Shadow and the Grandpawrents, so expect a post or two from the Remote Catio...and who knows what else...with our Mommy anything could happen!

In the meanwhile we'll be lurking around here and there, and back in business by October 14, if not before--see ya then!


Happy Monday!

  1. Hang on, hang on - something doesn't add up. Mommy is of work, and this is when she says she'll have a blogcation. Err, no, we don't think so! What is it with these illogical humans?
    Well, we hope there's loads of lap time and play and garden supervision for you in it. And of course a visit to Shadow is most important.
    We love the idea of an autumn crop of veggies and 'nip. Here we are fast approaching winter. Pöh.

  2. 1. Did you leave a "deposit" in the garden?

  3. Good thing your daddy planted some catnip in the fall garden!

    I know thirteen kitties that are going to be spoiled rotten--okay, make that fourteen--while your mommy is off work ;)

  4. That is a great garden Baby. Thanks for showing it to us. We here have no garden of our own, only a corridor for our mommy to plant flowers. We hope your mommy has a good time visiting your grandpawrents.

  5. Tell your mommy to have fun and enjoy her vacation.

    I would kill the male person if he planted another garden....

  6. Can I tell you a really embarrassing secret about my human? She is such a terrible gardner, not to mention really lazy, that she has actually considered HIRING a crew to put in a vegetable garden and tend to it at our house! There is a service that does just that right in our neighborhood, so I guess my human is not the only lame/ lazy one. She really wants fresh kale.

    BTW, you kitties are EASY - I would never let my human take a blogcation for such an easy bribe.

  41. Are you really on a blogcation or are you writing your novel, "Hunting lizards in the Lantana"?

    ReplyDelete
  42. What a fantastic trip to the garden. You have lots of plants to visit, planters to climb and stuff to rub on. I wish I were allowed out free. I have to wear a harness and it sometimes freaks me out.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Your mommy and daddy are going to have some very yummy fresh salads. It looks like the tall plant has a pepper shaped cat toy on it that needs to be whapped.

    ReplyDelete
  44. You can hide real good. That garden looks so nice. I wish I had one indoors like that.

    ReplyDelete
  45. My Human has been SOOOO unreliable about helping me visit. It's a disgrace, especially since you are looking so fetching, The Baby. You are kind of clean though--could you get a little FD for me?

    ReplyDelete
  46. The Baby you are Queen there in the Garden and what great duties you preform. Enjoy a good R n R with Mom and the lounge cats.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Your veggie garden looks fantastic! Fresh organic salad sounds great. And of course fresh catnip :-)
    I hope your mom will enjoy vacation and blogcation!

    ReplyDelete
  48. You hunt for lizards? Are those anythin' like snakes? My sister Constance and my dad are real snakers.

    Purrs,
    Nissy

  49. Our mom kind of neglected her veggie garden this summer. And then lo and behold, a big fall crop of ARUGULA AND CHARD!! Now she's very busy trying chard recipes, because that chard is MAMMOTH.
    We hope your mom has a good blogcation. Our mom seems to take them and not tell anyone she's away. She is very unreliable, but she's very good at taking care of US, which is the most impawtant thing!

    ReplyDelete
  50. MOWZERS - KALE! Our mommy's officially jealous. Our garden is winding down and it was especially plentiful with tomatoes this year - hey, if you plant basil, you could have a great italian thingy going there with your tomatoes :-)

    Enjoy your blog-caytion!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. We hope you are all enjoyin a wunnerful calm blogcation!

    ReplyDelete
  52. How are you kids holding up without your mommy? We could not survive that long!

    P.S. We wanted to thank you for your kind thoughts when PQ went to the Bridge. It's getting a little easier for us each day.

  54. ENjoy your vay-cay!

    Imagine, planting veggies in the fall! While I'm out madly covering tomatoes in hoping of getting another week out of them before the frost prevails...

    ReplyDelete
  55. YOu guys OK? Haven't heard from you in two weeks! Purrs.
