Now kitty can have job?- Weekly Challenge Update

I was thinking Sammy now has a job, keeping me in litter buckets, but his litter doesn't come in buckets! So we will have to be dependant on other Kitty's shit generosity if I want to make more bucket containers! So Sammy Cats job is to still to sit on my lap and purr and pat my face with his paws. And dispatch the occasional mouse.

Thats a lot of cat poop!

Sharon's Independence Days Challenge Year 3, week 19
1. Plant something: Cucumbers, hot peppers
2. Harvest something: Radishes, Mesclun greens, lettuce, foraged clover heads and pineapple weed.
3. Preserve something: Dried clover heads for tea and put them up
4. Waste Not: Community garden wanted cardboard. I had three large pieces left over from the kitty litter bucket bed. Seemed like a natural barter! Used those buckets, obtained from freecycle, along with pop/water bottles from the trash to make a container garden bed
5: Want not: Bought some local honey at the farmer’s market. And some locally made bread.
6. Preparation and Storage: Used 4 kitty litter buckets to store Sammy Cat’s litter. (I buy wood stove pellets in a large bag- ¼ the cost of feline pine and looks and acts the same)
7. Build Community Food Systems: Community garden wanted cardboard. I had three large pieces left over from the kitty litter bucket bed. Seemed like a natural barter! Wrote an article for the B-town Blog about the Community Garden
8. Eat the Food (cook or eat something new): Radishes, mesclun greens and lettuce in a salad; Pineapple weed as a snack.


Garden Challenge "Extreme Evangelist Edition"- Came up with a way to use kitty litter buckets for garden planters.
