Gardening In Recovery

Now I have to ask: What is a catio?

Thank you. I thought maybe it was a typo? :smile: :see_no_evil:

I think it’s like an outdoor cat house.

So the cat does not run away?
I only know farm animals. I have no idea about pets.

Kind off,but for what I know it’s more for windows or balcony.

On the countryside you can most often let your cat roam around outside. In the city that’s more difficult. Not sure how it works or if it’s for indoor cats too.

I’ve never had one. And I’m not 100% that I’m right. Something can be lost in translation here as well.

Catio :slightly_smiling_face:


This one is on Amazon. Too expensive so I am attempting to build one :slightly_smiling_face::cat2::slightly_smiling_face::cat2:

Where I live many cats are going missing and people are taking them thinking they are strays. Also they are being hurt by some people. So I am hoping they will be happy to still get outside safely.

Chives and mint growing in pots left out over winter. I didn’t do a single thing. Amazing! Mint will be transplanted into a larger pot but no mint in the ground or raised beds EVER. Too invasive!

Dear fellow gardeners and catio builders :blush:
Especially tagging @acromouse and @M-be-free49 for the last picture :grin:

I proudly present this year’s seedlings. They must stay indoor these days as a cold front with about/below zero at night crosses the region.
Cucumbers, squash, melons, corn and beans will follow, currently too cold.

Yacon

Chayote

Kale variations and clary sage, 1 single fennel

More fennel

Tomatoes, Chillis and Physalis


and …

I proudly present my new chainsaw. NO comments that it is battery-operated! I don’t fumble with petrol-driven machines anymore when I use them 3 times a year :+1::muscle:

I call her “Barbie” I guess. Other name suggestions welcome!

Thanks to youtube for helpful assembly videos :grin:

I have several spots with lemon balm wandering around the farm. Smells wonderful when mowed :blush:

Both lemon Balm and mint is supposed to repel mosquitoes too.
We live next to a river so I’m not sure my mint is working. Maybe I should get some lemon balm too :smiling_face:

Thank you so much for showing her off. Reading the manufacturer’s brand name I imediately thought of the Norse goddess of the underworld Hel, especially as she is responsible for welcoming the souls who die due to accidents. If this is to dark then please ignore me. It’s just where my mind took me: to the underworld :wink:

Beautiful name, never heard of this goddess. I’m gonna read a bit about!
Never anything too dark :+1:

This year I built a small pallet garden and fenced it in. My perennials are waking up and I’m happy :grin:. It will probably get overwhelmed and I might have to build another or maybe a third. Who knows? All I know is that I’m tired of feeding the deer.



Fuck them deer!
