This is a journal of my small organic urban kitchen garden & large community garden plots. This blog includes home preserving, recipes & a little bit of our life. My husband calls the gardens Eden. He should know he is the cook here! We are located in eastern Pennsylvania in zone 6B.

Guess what today is?????
It's somebody's Birthday!!! No, it's not mine or "The Italian's"
Happy birthday, Alvin! Do you bring your dead voles into the house, to be consumed on the rug? Annie brings chunks of....uh, compost (nice way of saying cow poop) in and puts them under the dining room table!
Alvin says thanks Granny. No, he does not bring the dead voles into the house. Miss Banana is the one who brings LIVE bunnies and chipmunks into the house for me to catch!!
Oh happy birthday kitty!!! Just as long Alvin brings the critters in dead and not alive.....I have a friend who has a cat that lets lizards go alive inside her house....that's the best:)
Alvin looks all worn out from his birthday vole catching! A cat nap is in order I think. :D Happy Birthday to Alvin!
My cat Sid is toothless (he came to us extremely ill and almost dead - the prolonged illness caused his later dental problems) but he still manages to catch the voles and gum them to death. How he manages it I really do not know - but I appreciate his garden pest vigilence!
Terrific, I knew that feeding the neighborhood cats would pay off! We had a vole problem in years past, so I started trying to attract the neighborhood cats, hoping that would also keep birds away. Oh, and 9 years, that's serious!

Happy birthday! What a good catcher he is. We had a mouse in our house and our cats didn't catch it. Can we trade kitties? LOL.
