Da Porch Pots


June is a monff fur growing stuff, so I sure am glad it finally came.

We had teeny liddle green seedlings in trays in da house fur da longest! Den my mom put dem in dixie cups but dey was still in da house under lights. It was too cold to put dem outside, but dey was getting big! Finally when it warmed up a liddle, mom planted dem into pots an buckets an stuff outside on da kitchen porch. Dey gotted rained on and hailed on an blowed by big winds an cold at night, but somehow dey grew all big an strong. So our porch looks like a ..... well, I was gonna say a garden, but actually it looks like a porch wif a buncha pots an buckets on. Wif big plants in.

Da sad thing about all da pots is dat dey has vegables growing in dem, eewww. Isn't dat pathetic? Furst dere was lettuces an greens, an my mom eats dem!! Now dere's plants wif liddle flowers on dat mom says means dey's gonna haf baby peppers. Den will come tomatoes. An some of da plants is called eggplant, isn't dat funny? I guess dey's gonna grow eggs.

Only one of dem pots gots real flowers in, a baby rose bush my mom gotted at church fur bein a mother on Mother's Day. No, not mine, dey meant all dem middle-aged humans she was mother to furst. Befur me. I luffs da baby rose bush. Mom brought it in da house fur me to sniff, an it had lotsa liddle velvety rosebuds on at furst. Did mew know da rosebuds opens up to purrty grown-up roses? Yup, dey does. But later da petals falls off. All by demselfs, honest! I didn't do it!

I likes to watch stuff growing, but it depends on what it is. I'd raffur see roses dan vegables. But what I really hoped to see was catnip! I sniffed an sniffed, an I doesn't think any is in dem pots. How could dere not be catnip? What could possibly be more impurrtant???

On da offur paw, I happens to know .... shhh...... right where a big bag of catnip is in da ..... shhhh ....... cubboard. So I'll be okay till next time. When dere better be some catnip in dem pots.
