Thursday in the Garden with Jonesie

Meow!

It's getting colder and yuckier outside and there is not much growing in the garden. I thought it would be fun to get my mom to experiment a bit. We have a greenhouse, and I talked my mom into trying to grow seeds in there. Not next spring, but now.

What does she have to lose? A couple of bucks worth of seeds? Isn't my entertainment and gardening curiosity worth that? We are going to try some lettuce and radishes. She got the potting mix and filled up the bins. I helped out by walking in the soil and putting little spots in the dirt where she can put the little seeds.

Technique is important. You can't walk back over it once the seeds are planted.

You can take a closer look at my paws. A garden cat can't be afraid to get her paws a little dirty.

There is no heat in the greenhouse so we just have to hope for the best. We have extra covers for the bins. If the seeds don't grow, we'll try again after the first of the year and keep trying until something grows. I heard rumor that we are getting a tree for inside the house this weekend. I can hardly wait!
