At certain times of the year, or maybe even always, some cats like to
eat some green things, and do so!

The leaves are really peppery, and it's not too late to plant
nasturtiums. They're far from the most beautiful flowers ijn the
world--nothing subtle about that coloring!--but the seeds do
unfailingly germinate and no pests (or cats) seem to be at all
interested in the plants. Some of the trailing/climbing ones
overwintered in pots have begun to floom this week.
