Cats and plants - show me your gardens

[Ferguson K]

Overnight life exploded in the beds of my gardens. Gator rode piggy back as we checked the rows. Managed to get a few pictures in the early morning sun, my phone didn't like the dim light.

Helping John check the patch job on the pig gate.

I've got some thinning to do it seems.

My onions are really taking off.

Your garden is looking good! You will have lots of good things to eat!

I just put in my fourth garden.

About to put in a melon garden. Watermelon, cantaloupe, sweet melon, and I'll like the edges with some extra berry bushes I have.

I reiterate that I'll be canning until my fingers bleed in a few months.

After

Before. Stinging grass galore!

Planted garlic and chives in the middle... more corn, peas, and beans... sunflower... uh... I think cherry tomato in the far right... I forget. I've got my map zip tied in plastic baggies on the garden.

We lined the edges with marigold and sweet onion.

I've got more peppers and lettuce and make that still need homes, not including the berries.

Also, that tree on the ground is HUGE. It shook the house when it came down. Was a 100ft talk tree. It's 4 ft tall laying down.

Cover that dead tree with soil and manure, make a mound. Plant some melons on it and keep it watered. the dead wood will absorb the water and keep the roots moist. I have a hugel culture bed I built last fall, I'm planting either melons or pumpkins on it. Over time, the tree will break down and return it's nutrients to the earth, making a rich bed.

Here in Wales we do cool,wet and windy. Grass green, trees blow over.

Here's one of my cats, Diva (What is it with cats and baskets?

And here's one of my back garden

And vegetable plots

Potatoes, strawberries, gooseberries, blackcurrants, onions, leeks, peas, pumpkins, courgettes, herbs etc

Sorry, the last two are more or less the same. Sleepy sheep in the background.

@Sheepshape you have a nice garden. Love the sheep in the background. You also have a beautiful view, the green hills are so pretty. Cats like snuggly places, I miss having a cat. Our son-in-law is deathly allergic to cats, so we don't have a cat. Your cat is pretty, give her a cuddle for me.

 

[Ferguson K]

I agree with everything Bay said. Your view and your Gardens are gorgeous.

Now this is my sort of thread! I don't have cats tho. I usually have to do a pano to get everything in, and this wont let me upload a pano. Soooo, this is most of the garden. Carrots, celery, onions and summer squash is all cut out.

We have a few garden areas on the farm. Way too many barn cats too. Here's a few photos.

And a few peacocks in the garden.
