She might use my garden as her personal toilet, but she's gorgeous anyway.

If you want to keep her out of parts of your garden, you could plant lavender, rosemary and pennyroyal, cats don't like the strong scent. They do however looove catmint (nepeta) so you could perhaps encourage her to "use" only one area by planting that there. All those plants are great for bees too

Yeah I don't want to evict her or anything, lol. She's not deliberately destructive, she just likes to find somewhere she can bury it afterwards which I get. If she's the same cat I think she is, she's been using my garden for a while. When I was first clearing out the thorns and that, I found a couple of old collars that look like the one she wears, just in different colours. I don't think she's very impressed the ground was cleared, lol.

She's a birdwatcher, too! I've watched her sit on the fence just watching them, no hunting stance, just "hey free entertainment" laziness. I might go with the catnip idea. She was lounging on the path in the sun yesterday so I don't want to put her off doing that, either.

She's not my cat. Why am I concerned about my garden's adopted cat? lol.

I love rosemary but have lavender..hmmm… I don’t know if my husband would agree though. He’d say I’m ruining his grass

Just missed him with the scissors!

Love seeing the bluebells out

I had a lovely walk today, in the woods near the Danube a few kilometers outside of Vienna. The weather was perfect and it was great being outside, especially after all the working Stress this week.

 

[Merab]

Beautiful.
How nice to have such lovely scenery so close to you.

There are quite a few really nice places in Vienna and in the vicinity.

Saw these beautiful bluebells this afternoon.

Today we're back to light rain which is great for nature, not so great for my sunday plans of doing work in the garden ... or spending some lazy time there.

Had a walk round some beautiful gardens and a bluebell wood today.
