Your garden looks fantastic! I’ve been using raised beds for years now and it is so much easier to get started with than rototilling and preparing all the original soil. I know you will love it! I am interested in seeing how the “square foot” idea works for you – looks promising. I’ve never done that before. Is that a rain barrel and a composter in there? I LOVE my rain barrel and we are just starting composting too. It’s been fun catching up over here and seeing all the strides you are making in getting back to nature. I have to echo Katie’s sentiments about the cat though. I had a male cat before who started doing that and if he hadn’t have started doing it outside the box, I may never have noticed the blood in his urine (the clumping litter really disguised it so it was kind of his way of telling me he was sick). Just my experience but I know you are good to your animals. Hope you are well!!! I’ve missed stopping in but hope to be here more often.

Tanya, I always forget that you guys are on the opposite side of the world from us and thus had opposite seasons. Do you harvest and store all your veggies over winter? We want to do better at this and a currently failing.

I’d have your vet check out the cat – peeing outside of the litter box isn’t necessarily a behavioral thing. It CAN be, if the litter box isn’t cleaned well, or if he is feeling threatened by another cat, but more often than not it’s a sign of illness. I’d have him checked out to be safe – and don’t let him out of the fenced yard!

Heidi: I’d have to tell you I’m currently all booked up for travel to Phoenix during the summer but it does look like I have openings in December or January!

I bet he’d love that! Buy him a plane ticket.

I LOVE IT!!!!! Im totally going to have to read that book. We have been in our house 7 years and we are just now starting on the backyard. (Remodeled the inside – just about every room) we need a new fence, I want to build a playhouse, and I want a vegtable garden. Looks awesome!…Can N come do mine too?
