Garden Thursday with Tabitha

Tabitha here for Garden Duty...guess who was out there visiting the feeder?  Mr. Squirrel that's who!

::3 paw taps::

Now it is time for the tour...we got lots of new things --more roses, lilies, hydrangeas and our veggies are getting big enough to eat.

Hydrangeas

Lilies

Our potatoes.

Tomatoes

Lettuces

Kale and chives

The beans put up new screens on the kitty porch - Mr Bear made a mess of them last year with his paws - mud and holes and everything.  Luckily we have hog wire under the screens to keep him out and us in. This year we booby-trapped the side he usually comes on with all sorts of metal ladders, dollies and pipes, hoping he will leave us alone!

Heat Wave!

Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend.  Mom worked all but Sunday and spent that getting some plants for her garden and containers.  She has to get out early to work int he yard or it gets too hot.

We are having a late spring heat wave here in the upper 80's and low 90's all week long.  The older cats are cool and comfy in the house with the air conditioning on.  A tad bit cooler than they would like but Mom has to be comfy too!

The white cats have a screen porch to lounge on and the building is built into the hillside which keeps it cool on hot days.  They were all sleeping in their favorite spots on the porch as hot as it was.  They get a good breeze most days and we have fans going for them. 

How are you coping with the heat?  We hope it is not going to a a scorcher summer like last year!  Stay cool!
