Potting tips
Container gardening is can be done on your deck using re-purposed items found at the curb on garbage day.
It is important to ensure the container is big enough for the potted item when it is fully grown.
As a kitten, this cat probably fit very nicely in its container.
But now it's full grown, it's obviously become "pot bound", and needs to be moved to a larger pot.
This is a common mistake made by new cat-gardeners.
And can be quite frustrating for the cat.

I wondered what I was doing wrong!
ReplyDeleteHaaaa!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind, but I shared a link to this post on my Facebook page this morning because it tickled me so! I thought some of my friends could use a laugh too!
ReplyDeleteThe kitty in the pot is priceless. Leave it to a cat to do something like that.
ReplyDeleteNow that is intensive domestic farming.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to put pots on a fence! The pots on my patio are all badly overdue for repotting. I put off doing it last summer and winter, then I came up with the perfect excuse "I'm too busy. I'll do it when I come back from Spain." and now? well I have no excuse ...
ReplyDeleteThanks Karma, I don't mind at all. I'm flattered.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, the lavender in the pot was a bit smushed.
You said it Gerry. Very intensive.
Rosie, you need time to recover from your marvellous adventure in Spain.
VV -- and never plant them upside-down.
How cute. She probably thought it was catnip she (or he!) was camping on. Potted Cat Nap perhaps??
