Someday I'd love to buy or build a realllly tall cat tree. Tam would love something like that. Halvah would probably just use the lowest sisal portion and sleep at the base, but that's fun too, I guess - in her world.
I'd love to have one of those big cat trees... but they're too expensive for what's in them.
Have you ever ordered actual plants through the mail, as opposed to seeds? Just wondering how that works.
Seems like it *should* be pretty easy to build one...buy scrap carpet to cover it and some of that rope for the vertical bits.
I dunno any carpentry, but I've always wondered if I could pull one of those off.
Miss Cat doesn't climb (at least I've never seen her climb), she always jumps when she's going up.
Hmmmm....stevia seeds. Think I'll try that.
Which part of the plant gets uses for sweetener? That is what stevia is for, right?
Yes, I've done that before. They're usually in plastic pots with the pots in a plastic bag....holes in the shipping box.
Burpee's doesn't sell bay laurel. I think I'll check out that herb site Li'lFreeper was talking about.
Yeah, that's what it's for.
I believe it's the leaves....guess I'll find out. :)
I'm just thinking it'd be a good way to get tomatoes, if I did that. Save the hassle of starting 'em.
All the plants I got at the farmer's market did well, except the tomatoes. Leaves me wondering if it was me or the plants. One cherry tomato plant did mostly OK, but the in-ground tomatoes died horribly.
I always like to see the seedlings push up through the soil.
I think the trick on the really tall ones is getting it stable enough to not fall over. Has to have a pretty big heavy base, or better yet, be bolted to the wall. :~\
If it was backed into a corner it might be OK...but you're right, a heavy base would be needed.
Usually when these guys knock stuff over it's 'cause they hit it at a running jump. That's where the corner would help.
Hmmmm.....wonder if the squirrels would like heirloom tomatoes....
Howdy...
I'd like one of those things for Josie... and yeah, I think it would need to be attached to the wall.
Are you going to let Burpee "custom grow" your tomatoes?
I watched "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" last night to determine if Luke could see it (I think so).
But I thought about you during the squirrel scene.
Think I'll go wash the car now.
You mean order plants?
Possibly. Depends on where I'm gonna be in a few months' time. Lotta idea juggling going on right now.
I also rather like that one package that includes eggplants, various tomato varieties, and several different types of peppers, too. Neat idea...though it could produce a LOT of 'maters. Four plants. Guess that's what freezers are for, but...
Yep, Wonka trained squirrels to open nuts for his candy. They reject the bad ones and send 'em down the garbage chute.
The spoiled rich girl wants a squirrel and tries to get one. They determine she's a bad nut and send her away (and later her dad).
