I want to try some grafting of tomatoes. First I need to locate some Maxifort seed. Does anyone out there have some Maxifort to spare?

I have a lot of seeds, but I keep ordering more. I ordered Tasti-Lee and Velvet Red. I got a bonus pack of German Giant. Also Bloody Butcher and Mountain Magic.

I just started some Stump of the World. I hear a lot about these. I also started some Stick.

I have been starting random small batches of seedlings. I have a few Big Beef, Everglades, Atkinson, and Floramerica. I need to start more Floramerica. I planted a few Bloody Butcher seed too. They seem slow to come up.

I just went out to do some planting. The large tub that was intact yesterday has been totally dug up today. Time to do some night hunting. Luckily there was nothing planted there yet.

To date nothing has bothered the containers that I have mixed the cat food into. I just mixed another batch of cat food into a large tub. We will see.

So far, nothing has touched the cat food in the pots.

The spider mites are winning. I need to start more seeds.

2 days ago, I stirred about 2 oz of dry cat food into one of the smaller pots. So far, nothing has disturbed it. After 1 or 2 weeks, I will place a small plant into the pot and see what happens.

I doubt it would hurt. I thought more about attracting racoons, possums, rats or mice. That is some transference on my part because I am having such a tough time at home with these critters in the drought. I haven't seen a coon for a long time. I have already killed 2 possum, one with a herd of little ones. I have seen squirrels and rats, but no mice.

My feeding procedure for my cat takes a bag of dry food and divides it into 3 pint ziploc bags. I place food in the dish every 4 hours and take the food up that he doesn't finish. Near the bottom of the ziploc, most of whats left is fine particles. At a certain point, I break out a new bag and dump the old one. I'm thinking about mixing the remainder into a container. I guess it may draw stray cats. My main question is will it help the plants.

I wonder if leftover dry cat food is any good as fertilizer?

Turns out they were a weed. I let them dry out and die.
