Here are the newest set of pictures of my little vegetable garden. April and May are my favourite months out in the garden, I like the way everything noticeably grows and looks different every day.
Here are my dwarf french beans, red onions, lettuce, and somewhere in there are carrot and spring onion seedlings, which don't stand a chance against the paws of Malley.
I have some distinctly strawberry shaped lumps.
My tomatoes are out and alive(I murdered the first lot in the greenhouse. I hang my head in shame).

Just popped over from KW's...
Have you tried holly? We've always found that short pieces of branch with their pricky leaves leaves stop any cat scratching.
Ooooh, thanks for that tip, I'll have to give it a try. I went out there this morning and she's dug up my spring oinon seedlings...grrrr.
Holly should work, they really don't like the prickly bits. If you can't get any, sprigs from pine trees might do the same trick.
I read somewhere that lion dung puts them off, but I have no idea were you would get any LOL
BTW I have moved my blog to a new home, the link should be above this comment.
Kate, it's good to see you, I wondered where your blog has dissapeared to!
I've heard about the lion poo too, I think the local zoos sell it for a tidy profit.
I've just joined a kitchen gardeners community on Ning and there is a post on the front page about deterring cats. Some of the ideas sound a bit brutal, but there are few good tips. The url is http://www.kitchengardeners.org/ you should be able to see it without registering, but if you can't let me know and I'll send it to you.
