hythlae's Cat on a Hot Tin Rooftop garden

Garden Type: Rooftop | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Potting Mix I'm Organic!

This garden has been archived.

Small slanted rooftop garden over our downstairs neighbor’s porch. Last year this was my only garden (until the roof painters came and I moved everything to the yard), but this year I’m thinking of making it just the cat garden. One of my cats loves the outdoors, but we don’t want him wandering outside. So I’m thinking I’ll put some catnip and grass plants up there, and when the cats want out that’s where I’ll let them out. maybe I’ll put some rugs out, too, though that’s tricky with rain.
