I scored some FREE pepper plants at the farmers' market last Saturday and they'll go into containers tomorrow. Our pumpkin plants are really taking off and there are several runners. The squash never did come up. Dana Our garden is progressing nicely! I scored some FREE pepper plants at the farmers’ market last Saturday and they’ll go into containers tomorrow.

Our cat, Maggie, sometimes gets in the garden. I have not caught her in the garden yet. She does not get in very often so it normally is no problem. If you use lavender, however, it does spread and is a perennial. I hope that you can stop the cats from coming in your garden! The garden is doing well, and I have some blooms on the tomatoes and beans. I also have some pods on the peas. Hello Mrs. Brodock!

I think the aluminum foil balls worked the best. You'd swear that there's not another place in all of our acreage that they can use the bathroom!

I have also used the hose trick. I place crushed up eggshells around the plants and this seems to deter the cats, the chickens, and the slugs. I have also used the hose trick.

As I near the end of this pregnancy, I'll have to have the children doing more of the garden work, so I hope to have lots of pictures for you later this summer. We'll be out of town again next week, so my next update won't be until July 3rd. Here’s my link for this week!
