<p>Hey nice people of the Chainlink garden:</p>
<p>I just moved into a new place (love it) that has two plots for gardening. Does anyone have extras of these things kicking around? I will happily buy them from you. Or maybe you can recommend a reliable source? (Craigslist for the city was surprisingly scant.)</p>
<p>- plants of any variety, especially shade-tolerant ones like hostas</p>
<p>- flower pots</p>
<p>- planter boxes or window boxes</p>
<p>Thanks, guys! =) </p>

<p>Lastly, my cat attempting to destroy seedlings. After a frustrating year losing lots of seedlings to cats/weather/etc in 2011, I only started basil and kale indoors this year and, thanks to these sheet protectors, there were no cat-related casualties. YET. There is still time for her to defeat the system!</p>

<p>Oregano and Spiderwort can be picked up anytime. Fern will have to wait another month or so</p>

<p>I sowed radishes and carrots and a few bell peppers outside today in a large container.</p>
<p>Also found a pot full of tulip bulbs I dug out last summer (most starting to sprout) and planted them.</p>
<p>How about you?</p>
