Meow! Happy Earth Day! I'm so excited to have a whole day dedicated to the Earth! What are you doing to honor the day? Wouldn't it be great if each of us kitties had new catnip planted in our honor?
I had to give it a lot of thought. I thought one good way to celebrate the earth was to honor our friendly and helpful earthworms. We have lots of them in the garden and we have to be careful when we dig so we don't harm them. They make sure our soil is nice and wonderful!
Another cool thing to do is lots of planting of new plants. I was thinking that our normal garden stuff didn't quite count because most of them are annuals. I still snoopervised the planting of our cooler weather friends like lettuce, spinach, kale and broccoli.
It's important to make sure you add stuff to the dirt. Dirt just doesn't do well on it's own. Earthworms help, but our dirt likes peat moss and perlite and compost mixed in.
Final inspection is always my favorite part.
Now for the really special news. For Earth Day, it's good to plant something permanent that will grow and stay for years to come. I sort of snoopervised the planting of our very own mini vineyard! I sort of did it because the rototiller scared me so I kept my distance. I'll give it closer inspection this coming weekend to make sure it's all settled in properly. It will be several years before mom and dad can make wine, but it should be lots of fun.
I'm tired! Time to nap in the decomposed leaves!Be sure to leave a link!

Happy Earth Day! I haven't worked in the garden in a very long time. How great to have your own mini vineyard.
What an excellent way to spend Earth Day :)
You've been a busy ladycat! We can't do a lot to our garden as the place doesn't belong to us. We can only just maintain it as it is.
Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day! We love the idea of every cat having a catnip plant planted in their honor!!

Happy earth day!
Jonesie, you've done a fabulous job in your gardens; concatulations! And happy Earth Day! :-)
Thanks for reminding us today is Earth Day. We are doing some exciting things to help the Earth but the post and the compost thingy aren't ready yet cause the beans are slackers. ~AFSS
Wow Jonesie, your veggie beds are so neat and orderly. Our plants are kinda messy. Oh, HAPPY EARTH DAY!! Heh, heh. . . that looks like fun, rolling in the leaves.
HAPPY EARTH DAY, Jonesie!
Happy Earth Day Jonesie! It's good to see you enjoying your garden. We have a small composting bin. It's on rollers which makes it easier to "stir". It's amazing to see our kitchen and yard scraps turning into wonderful compost!
Your "pantaloons" with leaves and twigs tangled in them made us smile...we neffur get to go outside so it's especially fun to visit you!
I say, your idea about planting catnip is purrfectly wonderful!
what a garden!

You are a fantastic gardener! Our mom is planting perennials this Saturday (bulbs). And she ordered some Pink Lilac Bushes from our little sisbean's fundraiser. We're waiting for them to come.
We so love Thursdays with you Jonesie! We get to see your gorgeous gray and white floofiness, and the delightful garden. It makes Meowm want to be able to have a garden. Maybe she will plant some nip in the tiny areas areound the paprtment htis weekend in honor of Earth Day.
You worked really hard today, Jonesie and your garden is really looking good!
Happy Earth Day!
Ooopsy, wanted to let you know we made a mistake leaving our link. It might'n't work if you click on it! Sorry. But this one is right :)
You look beautiful hanging out and supervising and working in your garden. I love the mini vineyard too! It's wonderful that you are doing great things for the earth. I don't like catnip myself (I know, most cats think me strange!), but we plant it anyway!! For other kitties to enjoy!
*purrs* to you and yours! -Dorian
Happy Earth Day! WE think it is so cool that Thursday in the Garden is on Earth Day!
