I have been successful in keeping Buster from eating things only because it is mostly out of his reach. However, the other day I had his cat tree too close to the tables and now my peas have teeth marks in the leaves. We attempted to coax him away from OUR food by planting gat grass for him -- the idea being he will like it more than the other plants and refrain from munching on them. Unfortunately, while he loves the cat grass he still tried to make a pass at the peas again.
My windowbox garden is coming along nicely, I have tried adding a picture here but it doesn't seem to want to allow it. I think the lettuce finds it a bit hot in the house -- it is looking a little wilty, but otherwise everthing looks healthy.
Except for the cucumbers, which I have given up for lost. Reading on the internet, I've found out that they need eight hours of sun every day, which was fine when they were in seedling pots, but when I transplanted them they were no longer in prime window poition. I may try them once the other plants can go outside. It has been recommended online that for containers dwarf or "bush" varieties are generally more successful. Or I may use the cucumber pot for the strawberries my mom is giving me when they take over her garden. :)
