yeah....that...or what ever will keep the phsyco cat outra the plants
SEED ROBIN IN FLIGHT "ROUND 3"
I went looking to see if I had any ... I thought I did .. but doesn't look like it. I'll keep an eye out for some as I clean off my desk ... I have a pile of seeds from the last swap ... not many got planted yet ... I could've sworn I had some around here some where ... hmmm ... =D
I find it hard to keep the cat out of my gardens ... I even tried hot peppers... I crushed up the dried hauls and pread them and the seeds ... it worked for the first 3 days then she got use to the hot pepper taste ... grrr ... The animal repellant stuff & moth balls only work for a few days also...
Will citronella geranium work? (sorry if I misspell anything...on phone @ the pub).
you might want to think twice before the cat mint or nip for that will draw them all in & It Spreads like a wild fire
very nasty to get in your flowerbeds or it is here anyway .
if you want to keep them out got to online tractor suple & get a spray called animal repelant spray really works .
& its about $8.??. its for all types of critters deer rabbits, skunks , coon , fox , cat , dogs , & More .
best of luck with it .
Planted cat grass in a large trough-like container for
all the kitties. Put it out now thats its about
10" high and they aren't even curious about it :(
re: citronella geranium - - smells heavenly when a stiff breeze blows through it or if you disturb the leaves in anyway - - if you are expecting it to deter mosquitoes - you will be more successful by burning a punk stick than relying on this plant . . . the whole "mosquito plant" thing is just a marketing fantasy . . . it is a nice piece of foliage though
ok back in the wind it is. got delivery number somewhere. will hunt it up tommorow but its on its way.
just a side note. I changed boxes because it was cheaper to send it regular priority box then the flat rate box by 5 dollars even with the delivery conf.
so just because flat rate looks good might not be the better deal.
thanks ya'll.... it's not actually MY cat... it's for a dear friend of mine that I have shared plants here locally with.... her 'stray' adopted cat, who has a "frisky" friend keeps eatting certain plants... the goal of attracting them with catnip or other was to draw them AWAY , or as last resort... REPEL them from such said area. the cats are eattibng her plants she said....soooooo......
((I have a dog *Maltese*.... so I don't have an answer for her))
GM Everyone!
have u tried "cat grass"? I don't know if that packet is still in the box. but cats love to eat the grasses. its a variety they love the young plants. also lemon grass... like they sell at petsmart by the registers. we bought a bag of the cat grass seed. since most of our cats are indoors they make a mess of it. but the out side cat she loves it. i'll look to see if i still have some. best thing to do is plant these plants away from the areas the cat is getting into... tell her to make a "kitty bed"
i guess i better finish up packing up seeds today & make sure there is all the info on the packs.
I'll let ya know when thebbox arrives... : D
GM ALL :

Dirty ... If ya sit in front of the puter and have the seeds next to you with a couple of windows open all the windows open to the "plant file search" .. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/search.php?Search=Search+plants
its a tremendous help ... that's how I have learned to get through these boxes rather quickly especially the box before this one.
Have fun... lol
B.
Thank you for the seeds everyone ... especially the envies ... !! thank you ... =D
I have lots of seeds I would love to harvest, however, I do not believe I am allowing my seeds enough time to mature. Is it correct...that I have to allow the seeds to completely dry on the plant before I can snip it off????? I was told that I could not snip off coneflowers and allow the seeds to dry, that I had to allow them to dry on the plant.
I'm going thru them again...was outside for over 2 hours moving plants from pots to ground, from water rooting to soil pots...ugg... tired already!
I see someone put some zip baggies in the box...is that something that alot of ppl need more of?? if there's anything besides seeds that anyone needs I am willing to share stuff too...((if it's permissable)) ((ie. sharpies, labels)).
do you mean putting in baggies & pens rather then seeds ??
I don't think anyone is doing that they are just a few extra if needed .
just add what seeds you have . that are different then what is in there if you can.
OH NO,.... I added some seeds!! I am just offering the extras if needed.
I did have fun with the fruits and veggies, kids want to start a garden.
Beth was there anything in particular you were looking for?
I added extra little seed baggies. I totally forgot to mention it.... I'm just glad there wasn't a pen in the box when it came this way.... I'm a notorious pen thief. Its totally unintentional. I just love pens. of course I have them for about a week before I loose them ... lol
Most plants I wait until they dry out unless they are one of the exploders... like rueillas or violet orodata ... those of you don't get them when they turn completelly brown they will explode and spread seeds every where...
Oh the 4 o'clocks I added ... it depends on the bee on how they will turn out ... but some are that fuschia pink color some are yellow and some are yellow and pink mixed on one flower.
below was suppose to be yellow this year
one more picture of what they could look like... I have had a several that were 1.2 and 1/2
