Garden club this Saturday!!!Posted Thursday, March 18, 2010, at 9:18 PM
Cat? What cat? Surely you are mistaken!
PITA our newest dog LOVES one particular cat, or at least loves to hover over him. We try to break her of the addiction, but so far it has not helped. All the other cats get their point across to PITA but for some reason Sammy has not been able to discourage her. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |

I have a question for all the more experienced gardners out there. I planted Roma tomatoes from seed this year. They were doing just fine until yesterday when I found a bunch of my little seedlings without their first leaves and now looking like they are about to keel over. I can replant, but what might be going on with these little guys?
If they got dark and fell over at the soil line, I am thinking "damping off". Here is a good article on it. http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/v...
Let us know if this hits te spot or we need to go further.
Sammy must not be trying to hard. I have one cat that can look at my dog and the dog runs, one that tolerates him when he wants to and one who like sammy they are best buds. They wrestle,bite each other, smack each other and sleep together. When one of them gets to rough though the other knows because I hear a yep or a hiss.
That's the best kind of dog to have ... just a good ol' mutt! They're the best.
You are right, Sammy does not object enough, but when he does PITA does not take it seriously. Sammy can yell, hit her and run to no avail.
You are also right, that we have some that PITA "respects". I think Sammy made the mistake of trying to be friendly at first and PITA does not believe him now. She has such a big mouth that she takes Sammy's head all the way inside or has his whole neck surrounded.
I don't think PITA will mean it, but we are afraid she could hurt Sammy in an instant of extra exuberance.
Steve,
Sounds like that might just be what happened to my little plants. The article said something about microwaving the soil? I thought I was doing pretty good with them, keeping them just moist enough and they just up and started to keel over.
You are not alone in this problem Sharon. It has happened to most, if not all of us.
Well, I didn't make the meeting last night. I was out till dark putting down fertilizer and pre-emergent to prevent crabgrass and other summer annual weeds. I was pretty tired once I made it home. But what a great day to be outside working.
It sure was. These first few weeks of Spring are just what is needed to re-start the engines.
Steve,
I think I figured out what happened to my Tomato plants and it matches the cute little black one in the above picture. I found evidence of it on the floor when I arrived home tuesday morning from work. I am going to replant and put the seedlings in a room where my cats can't eat them for supper.
I have always made the space where I put my seedlings too uncomfortable for a cat, but the brown and black thing on top of the black one does not care how small, large, uncomfortable or hidden something is, so I will not be starting seeds in the greenhouse this year. Her nose leads her to anything new.
Yes, I know I could get rid of her, but look at that face! Eventually, (HOPEFULLY) she will calm down. I put a collar on her and she knows this means I am getting to the end of my "rope" and hers.
I put a large log chain on her collar when she has been particularly aggravating and now all I have to do is pick up the chain and she sulks off. So do the other dogs, although they do not have a collar on, nor ever had the chain attached. They're not dumb critters.
