now with pictures!
these are the seedlings before they went into pots. the really long ones (on top) are the sweet peas; the squash are in the square pots below:
and here they are, in the pot, after whatever it was discovered them (note the stems that now end in nothing)
so stopped by home depot on the way home and got some bird netting, and a plant support to hold it up:
it was getting dark, and cold, so this is pretty hastily done - just draped the netting over the pot, and tied it with some wire wrap thing (after checking under the pot lip for snails) (and also planting a few more seeds).
some of the other things: the runner beans
and the cherry tomatoes (looking surprisingly robust) (the white things are petals that have fallen off the climbing rose overhead):
and the zinnia, looking considerably less than robust (there were originally 3 potlets, each with 3 seedlings, in here):
as you can see, there are still pots waiting for me to put things in.
oh - and that little stunt i pulled? the one where i came home like i always come home, like i was in for the evening, and the cats followed me in, on account of i have been fussing at them for not coming right in when i come home and so they came right in because they are Such Good Cats, and then I WENT OUTSIDE AND LEFT THEM SHUT UP IN
THE HOUSE AND FOOLED AROUND RIGHT IN
FRONT OF THEM AND ALSO OUTSIDE???
that one has been officially ruled Not. Funny.
(actually, it wasn't at all intentional, i figured they would stay outside as usual, but i wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to get them in. not that that helps me _now_, he's still scratching at the window and whining.)
