Getting the evil look from Precious

[donprec]

I had gotten a few plants for Precious, would snip a leaf off and throw it in her salad. Eventually I got a windowsill pot that pretty much took over the whole windowsill. So Precious would climb into the plant pot and take a few nibbles, then she'd leave that window and move on to the other, which is more like the lounging window for her...I lay out a blanket and the window is open.
But the plants had been nibbled and used up so I pruned them and then moved them to another room to give them some time to grow again.
Well, when Precious went into that window, as soon as she jumped onto that windowsill she knew something was wrong. She kind of just stood there for a minute staring with a confused look on her face. Then she goes closer to the window...I think she was trying to look out and see if her plants were further ahead.
Then she just stared at me. Even though she kind of looks like she's smiling in this picture, it actually seemed like she was so mad at me, like she was saying "Where are my plants, WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY PLANTS!" She stayed exactly like she was in the picture for the longest time. Usually she seems to go into her own world as she watches what's going on outside, she'll forget all about me. But this time, she just stared at me like I was some evil person!
I think I'll have to buy her another plant this weekend to cover for the other bunch that needs to grow out.

Poor Precious! What kind of plants were you letting her eat?

 

[donprec]

Parsley, cilantro and basil. I'd bought some more expensive organic soil from Home Depot that I planted them in. From what I read, the basil was the healthiest of the 3 for her to eat but of course, that was her least favorite but she still nibbled from that one too. Her favorite is the parsley.
I went to a couple of local garden stores to try to get my hands on some dandelion greens or even alfalfa but can't find the plants or seeds anywhere...I don't know why?!

I ordered dandelion seeds off of Amazon last year. They came wrapped in paper towel in an envelope. I guess nobody really wants to plant weeds so we aren't going to find the seeds at the store LOL!

LOL, oh yeah! That would explain it!

Awwww how cute!! She's adorable! I read cilantro and parsley are high in calcium, is that right?

How does she get to the window? Do you have a window box for them? I've looked for one for my beardies buy haven't found anything.

This is an older post, shows how she gets into the "lounging" window. The opposite side of the bed has (had) the window with the plants in it. Either window is maybe about an 8 inch jump for her.

I had gotten a long, narrow windowsill pot from the dollar store and that's what had the plants in.

Of that's a really neat setup! I bet she loves it. Thank you for sharing the pics!
