I Planted Plants

  That reminds me of when I accidentally planted watermelon. We were eating watermelon outside, and I guess I accidentally dropped a couple seeds in the cracks between the stairs, and without me knowing or paying any attention to it, it grew all by itself. Unfortunately I was young and impatient so around the time it was grapefruit sized I decided "Ok thats long enough, lets eat it!" Needless to say it was nowhere near 'long enough' and was awful. Lol.

  I had to transfer my watermelon plants to separate pots. I had put 2-3 seeds in each pot expecting half or more of them not to grow, but all but 3 of them are growing so I needed to separate them so they would have enough room. I was worried they would all die because I touched them and my hands make death happen, but they all seem to be fine. Their first two leaves are starting to spread open.

  As usual, cats ruin everything I care about. All the smaller flowers in the planter have been trampled into and ripped out of the dirt and 90% of the watermelons are totally destroyed. I will never plant anything again.

  How do you know it was cats? Never had problems with cats ruining our garden back at home. There are a lot of animals that can ruin a garden, mostly birds. Having some sort of scarecrow or scary Owl does a good job at keeping them away.

  You should have seen what my savannah, Ash, did as soon as he saw that we had house plants. Pissed in the onion to claim them as his turf. Then started eating lemon sapling leaves, chewing on bamboo, and mutilated other things. Not to mention the outside flowerbed that is littered with shit.

  Well Savannah's are a completely different story. I guess it's different from cat to cat but all our outdoor cats didn't bother with our garden. Our garden was really big though and not in pots.

  Because they were still inside. They were almost big enough to move outside but not quite there yet. That and I found the cat who did it sitting next to them with dirty paws.

  Oh, well then, that there be some asshole cats :/ I've only had experience with gardening outside straight into the dirt both from straight up seeds, cut up potatoes, and then from sprouts like brocolli and tomatoes.

  Assuming they're raised domestic, servals and savannahs are not that different from your average domestic cat, behaviour-wise. All of our other average cats were indoor-outdoor for the majority of their lives, and they considered any planting bed to be an optimal place to do their business. Or at the very least, a nice place to rest.

  I guess my experience has more to do with the fact that it was outside in one large field for the garden with lots of space between rows for the cats to play in the dirt without ruining the plants.

  my cats demolished the bamboo we had, they weren't Savannah's either.

  The flowers are getting bigger leaves but haven't actually made any.. you know.. flowers.
  
  Also, I keep finding toads in my melons.

  Went home to my parents garden and ya....great big garden, complete disaster. The lack of rain this year pretty much killed it. Only thing that looks like it's anywhere close to some looking like it will product much of anything is the stringed beans.
  
  Lots of weeds, very little crops :/
