Thursday Garden Report with Busby

Hello friends! Another busy week in the garden! Here are the highlights:

We got another tree! This is a miniature fig tree, it's called a Black Jack fig. It doesn't get very big and is supposed to have delicious and abundant fruit. We are VERY excited about it. (plus it was on sale for 20% off!) Our neighbor's bike is in the background. We told you our garden space is small.

Our radish seeds are sprouting! We have had the coldest April and May on record in Santa Cruz county. It has also been very wet. We got these in the ground finally and we're happy they are sprouting. Next we will need to thin them out a bit.


See our garden pig? His name is Porcini. He watches over everything. Those petunias are called Aladdin Arabian Nights. We like the colors.



Last but not least, our catnip plant! Mom put it in a hanging basket because there are roaming cats in our neighborhood. This photo isn't very good, we'll try to get a better shot of our nip next week.



Don't forget to visit the other gardening cats today, including the Queen of the Feline Gardeners Jonesie! XOXO, Busby
