Qua Cats and Plants....
I used to great success one year a monofilament net made for net fishing, set on stakes at about
6" or so over the ground, and set my seedlings out in that (note, weed barrier was laid down
first!)... neither the crows, nor the cats gave me much grief that year! Pity now is I have neither
the net nor the space for a real garden, and Belgian weather, well... Miss Dewi, you know what I
mean!

Hey.........thank you! That is a pretty good idea. We have one little girl who
loves to lay in the dirt. Fortunately, she doesn't do anything else in it; she
just seems to have some attraction to the soil that her brothers don't share.
Might be tough to find something that works with the small seedlings though,
when they are too large to keep the domes on the starting trays. But I shall
hunt for something....
