Rene (the Queen), tiny female grey striped tabby, mom of Brynner, Georgia and Katrina, magically appeared on command the day we set out to get a female grey tabby from the shelter, and fought off two big dogs in the rain to get our attention. Brynner, big male siamese, son of Rene. Rag doll cat! Georgia, the hunter female tortoiseshell calico, daughter of Rene. Katrina, white (the princess), the runt and fragile flower, daughter of Rene Cosmos, the old man (the chief), unusually sentient even for a cat. Tigris (aka Baby), tomboy female half grey tabby (top) and white (bottom), a friend gave us. Has half a tail with a hook at the end. Boo, local homeboy orange tabby male, rescued from living under grandma"s house Erin (aka Brat), rare female orange tabby, adopted us as food source when a baby and occasionally tolerates us petting her for at least 3 seconds before biting.

Aergarden Seed Starting

I've never tried this before. Aerogarden came out with a little foam insert, with sterile soilless plugs, for seed starting. The light seems a little far away, but then, their lights are brighter and more full spectrum than shop lights. Here's mine seeded, last night:



Last year, the 14 weeks of rain in spring annihilated my garden, and of course that of everybody around me. What a freakin disaster! I was almost afraid to go back into the garden again this year! But how many times can that happen after all.

This year I'm only doing container garden -- my big garden beds I am going to mat and let the weed seeds (from LAST year) die and then replant next year.
