| Mitten Supervises The Progress |
It has been an eventful inaugural week at Mitten Farms. Last Saturday, I ventured down to Fairchild Tropical Garden to procure heirloom tomato seedlings for this year from Bee Heaven Farms. Although I initially told my boyfriend that I would only grow two kinds of tomatoes this season I had to renege on my promise after I saw all of the options. So this year, we are growing six kinds of tomatoes, herbs, and an heirloom "early" jalapeno. Naturally, Mitten supervised the planting process.

For herbs, we have two kinds of basil (regular and purple, which isn't as tasty but has a beautiful color), rosemary, thyme, and chives.
Mitten is taking a great deal of interest in the new plants. On Tuesday morning, she pranced over to one of the tomato seedlings to investigate it. When I tried to push her back (since tomato leaves are supposed to be bad for cats) she wriggled out of my grasp and chomped on leaf! The vet laughed at me when I called asking I needed to bring Mitten in, but I am keeping her away from the tomatoes nonetheless.
I may not post again until the tomatoes start to flower, but keep checking back for updates!
