The Garden Plot

Good afternoon, Friends

Once again Etude and I are being neglected.  Yes, you heard it. We're practically abandoned.  Why, you ask?  

Well, I'm sure you can guess from the title.... Yes, the old girl has a garden plot.  #6 in a row of 32 plots allotted to residents of the complex.  With over 500 units many of whom wanted a spot and so few plots Grammy feels very privileged. 

And so who suffers?  The neglected kittens! Yes, we are! Grammy goes down to her plot every day... to clean it up ready to plant next month.  It isn't big.. only 3 by 5 feet (90 x 150 cm) but sufficient for a family of one and 2 abandoned kitties.  So far she's removed a gazillion stones, loosened the soil and removed more stones, raked and dug some more.  More stone removal to go... then fresh veg and herb soil going in to amend it.  IT NEVER ENDS! 
 
On the Balcony Chives and Ivy overwintered and her Bougainvillea too.  Do you remember the ROSE in The Little Prince?  Well, under the Bell Jar the mollycoddled  Bougainvillea is coming back to life.  Another thief of our Grammy time!  

And then indoors Grammy has a nursery.  A planter of Morning Glories incubating and three boxes with plastic containers of all sorts for Tomatoes, Spinach, Carrots, Beets, Lettuce, Green Onions, Parsley, Cucumbers and stinky Marigolds to deter slugs and carrot flies.  And some of them even have their own little incubators.  Do you believe it?  We think she's gone overboard but she told us to mind our business. HOW RUDE! 

We do mind our business, or would if she'd plant CatNip.  But Nooooooooooooo! "If you boys nibbled and slept maybe but, you both go absolutely bonkers and scrap on CatNip!  I don't need any additional vet bills! AND I don't need furry paws uprooting my plants to make room for more CatNip!  WHAT A GRUMP!

And when she isn't in the garden or nursery SHE KNITS! *SIGHS*

Anyone out there want to adopt two thoroughly neglected kitties?  

Friend, Be safe, be kind SMILE and help others as and when you can.
