Where Have You Been, Perrin P Piddy?


Isn't it great how people start blogs and then stop posting to them?  Perrin says I need to get back on top of writing about him.  He's so bossy sometimes.

Perrin likes to play in the backyard.  What he doesn't like is how he can't reach the vegetables we're growing in buckets.  My husband used cinder blocks and planks to create a platform P Pid can't reach.  The result is bell peppers, cucumbers, squash, jalapeƱos, eggplant, and tomatoes that are able to grow to maturity before someone eats them!  I will say I strongly suspect a squirrel of stealing a nice size tomato - I wonder if the squirrel was in cahoots with Perrin.

I'm also working on my narrow vertical garden. Perrin decided the catmint was tasty this year (he's never eaten it before!) and he thinks some of my plants are just as tasty as vegetables.  So up goes a piddy barrier...I'm sure it won't last long.  I'm sure Perrin will jump the wire or push it down and I'll have to figure out something else.  Poor Perrin - he just wants to help me with my garden!
