Be sure to check out
the other great suggestions and garden cat stories while you are there. Here are a few examples:Crazy Cat Lady Carm says: "This year we planted our little metal fire pit/container with parsley and basil--our town made it illegal to have recreational fires... Randy loves to make homemade pesto. We planted some Russian giant sunflowers- they are well over 8 feet tall. It's just so much fun and entertainment to see how big they will get! I feel like Jack and the Beanstalk!"
Cat Lady Catherine says: "I don't use any chemicals in my garden since I have rabbits and birds that always come to visit and with my cat munching on the catmint and chasing butterflies ~ I want to make sure everyone in my garden stays happy and healthy! Except the ants... I wish they would take a hike!"
Cat Lady Emily says: "Catherine, try crushed (pulverized) eggshell for the ants! It’s a trick mom taught me... they get hurt on it and it deters them plus the plants like the nutrients."
Thanks for participating! Details for the giveaway are at this link:

Thanks, CeliaAlma-- It sounds like you are talking about a spice we call "cloves" in English. I'll have to give that a try next time I have a problem with ants.
Hi Susan, I would love to arrange for a custom portrait of my four kitties when you are accepting orders again. Please contact me through my blog, or reply to etsy communication. Thank you :-)
