Society of Feline Gardeners- Thursday in the Garden with Jonesie

::Meowwww::

 

Welcome back to my garden.  As you can see behind me, dad has been very productive getting the garden beds cleaned out.  He's also been very busy trying to keep up with the mowing.   The grass grows so fast around here and it will be another month or so before it slows down.

 

Did you notice the pretty Rhododendron behind me?

 

Here, take a closer look.

 

Mom left some sticks in my garden.  Last year these were used to mark where she planted the rows of seeds.

 

Being a skilled garden cat, I'd like to demonstrate additional uses.  Sometimes plant stakes and garden markers are the best for getting at an itch. 

 

Be creative!  That's what I always meow.

 

The cherry tree is full of white blossoms.  I know mom gets all excited at the thought of cherries.  She loves to eat them.  Cory loves to play with them.  To Cory, this is a toy tree.

 

I'm finishing up my final inspection of the lawn...can you believe dad left some dandelions?  I better have a chat with him.

Welcome back to my garden!  Lucky for me, mom got over her nasty cold and she was able to assist me with photos of my garden adventures.  We had a glorious weekend of beautiful sunshine and warm temperatures. 

 

I hung out on the cement while dad did his best with the lawn mower. 

 

 

Once all the noise stopped I was able to inspect and encourage my plants.   The Columbine is growing nicely.  I will be patient and wait for them to bloom. 

 

 

Our garden gate is not really a gate to anywhere.  At one point there was a fence, but now it's just decorative.  Did you know that this gate used to be in a different spot in our yard?  We like to move stuff around.  We have climbing roses that use it for support.

Our Trillium is blooming.  It's very special and delicate.  I make sure to purr over it to help it grow to it's potential.

Since there is so much to do this time of year, it's important to take little breaks.   A little relaxing in the sunbeams and grass does wonders for you!

Dad felt it was important to give me feedback on all my hard work.  He points out certain flowers or plants and tells me what a good job I'm doing.  In this case he is pretty sure this flower would not bloom without my expertise.

 

When the days work is done, I make sure that I hang out with mom and dad while they admire the garden.

 

There's a niptini for me, right?

Tuxie Tuesday

The weather has been amazing! Time for me to get out and check out the garden happenings. First stop is the nip patch. It's coming along nicely. Before too long the nip will be towering over my head! The daffodils are still in bloom! There's still nothing planted in the raised beds. I heard a rumor that some seeds were buried the dirt, but I sure can't tell by looking at it. Maybe I can dig them up? That kind of sounds like fun. That would make Jonesie crazy....
