Gardening

Hello, hello!

When I'm not travelling I like to relax by doing a bit of gardening. Unfortunately my humans live in an apartment, so we have to make do with pots on the balcony. And you have to be quick, growing season in Finland only lasts a few months. The rest of the year it's too dark and too cold to even think about getting stuff to grow. Kind of depressing really.

Rosemary smells so lovely

I let Julius help out with the gardening. Or, well, I say help, but he's no help. He thinks the pots are sandboxes to play in, and he doesn't understand that you have to let the fruit ripen before you pick it, but at least it keeps him out of trouble for a few minutes. 

No, Julius, those tomatoes aren't ripe yet.

I like relaxing in the shade of our tomato plants.

Julius is hiding from me. I pretend I don't know where he is to get some peace and quiet.

Man, this gardening stuff is hard work. Julius, go get me a cold beer.

Julius likes to climb around in this plant. I keep telling him that it's a carnivorous plant, but he doesn't listen. I hope he gets eaten, that'll teach him.

Before I end I'd like to remind everybody that World Naked Gardening Day is celebrated on the first Saturday of May. We always celebrate it, you should too!
