  • Arrrgh! Mouse!

    Just a rant, don't mind me.

    I have two cats, both active hunters. Apparently one or the other brought in a live mouse yesterday and it fled into the garden room (where I use the windowsills for my seedlings, and they are not allowed on a night due to knocking things down)

    Well you can guess the rest. Two full trays of seedlings munched through this morning, it's carnage in here! On inspection it could have been a lot worse as I tend to keep my more expensive/irreplacable seedlings on difficult to reach sills away from cats and toddler but still. My alicante tomatoes, my mini bells peppers, my cayenne chillis ALL GONE. (except for one solitary cayenne chilli it apparently misseddue to being buried under the bodies of its peers)

    I know I can replant (hell, I even have another batch of alicantes upstairs) but aaaaargh.

    (In better news, after the mouse ran into a tissue box I managed to catch it - alive - and put it outside. Although a cat followed me so I cannot be sure it is still alive)

    Oh Eck! The joy of animals. I have the same problem with my OH. I said yesterday the bush sunflowers need re potting. Off he goes. I go into the porch later to fleece the toms and the sunflowers are still crammed in their pot but my very, very small sweet peppers are now in there own pots - they did not survive until this morning.

        It would'nt have been so bad but.....I had labelled everything and there is quite a big difference between s. flowers and sweet pepps - Unfortunately getting Lu Lu lottie has made him believe he is Percy Thrower and has got the ability to recognise things on site - Nope!
