I’ve been feeding a cat who supervised my gardening activites last year. Just came in from setting some food out for him/her and he came running. He enjoys watching but won’t come near enough to pet. He might just need some catnip.

The outside water is cut off for the winter so I’ve been taking gallon milk jugs out to the garlic, which is all that’s growing. What do you think of using those milk jugs when it’s time for the tomatoes to get a larger home? Cut the tops larger and holes for the bottom? It won’t matter cutting the sides off when it’s time to go into the garden. Since hardly any produced last summer, I need to get a head start on Mother Nature so started a few seeds the other day.

The Brussels sprouts germinated and the broccoli and cauliflower grew an inch overnight.

It’s going reach the 80s today but buckle up for another hard freeze Thursday. Gotta love Texas weather.

The milk jugs break down FAST in sunlight. I don't use them for anything outside because of that.

When the cat is close, get into a non-threatening position low to the ground, and extend your index finger directly at the cat. Don't make eye contact except to do a single slow blink.

You might be surprised when the cat bumps his nose against your finger and slow-blinks back.

I've rescued my share of feral catz.
