Its seeds vs. cats.
As you can see from the photos, we have two very cute kitties. But please don’t be fooled by the sleepy pose they happen to be captured in. They are juvenile delinquents. I mean it. No piece of furniture is too tall to be considered a climbing post. And when they chase each other through the house, it sounds like a herd of elephants (baby elephants but still) romping across our hard wood floors. I cannot even talk about my dining room chairs & little kitten claws, ugh. So you get the cat part of the face off.
Now onto the seeds. As I delve deeper into gardening, I have truly enjoyed all the experiments. One such trial I was planning for this winter was grow lights to coax my baby seeds out of the soil a bit earlier & perhaps, be a bit more robust than last spring’s attempts. I even had a whole plan of attack mapped out & a supply list compiled.
Then it dawned on me. Surely, a tray of wet soil & curious, climbing cats was not going to work in my favor. I have envisioned different scenarios from my first….all had the same ending. A tray of wet, dirty hard work crashing down onto the floor.
As of now, I am working on plan B. I’ll keep you posted. I don’t think it’s going to be the beautiful greenhouse I saw in the back of Fine Gardening. A girl can dream though.
