This is Roast Beef's first year living with us during my seed starting period. He's my new intern gardener. As I have been telling people, he's got a great passion for the work, but he doesn't achieve the best results. I thought you guys may appreciate the humor in these photos.
Here are a few where Roast Beef is enjoying a salad bar while I am watering the seedlings.
My pepper seedlings all suffered quite a bit. They were on the bottom rack of my seed starting cart. All of them looked like this.
Between Beefy's attack of the seedlings on the bottom shelf and the attack of the seedlings during watering, I knew I was going to have a huge issue when my cart filled up and I had to put my seedlings on the floor and set up my floor model grow lights. I decided I would purchase a second cart and just put the flats on the second and third shelves of each cart and not use the floor model stands. I thought that if I didn't use the bottom rack of the carts, my seedlings would be safe. I came home from work on Friday to a crime scene.
Start at the top left. Roast Beef jumped from the console table onto the second rack of the cart. He tread on zinnia seedlings, chard seedlings, gomphrena seedlings, ate the tops of of all of my bunny tail seedlings, completely smashed a dill plant, and then jumped down to the floor, tracking dirt everywhere.
This is where we are now. A huge piece of cardboard is hanging on the front of the first cart with binder clips to prevent Sir Bouffage from jumping from the console table to the second rack of the cart.
The ball is back in The Beef's court.
He's lucky he's so cute.
