Beautiful Bacon? Is there such a thing as UGLY bacon?
I think NOT!
I hereby declare it Saturday Bacon Bonanza Day across the land!
Would I celebrate a substance that was not delicious and fabulous and for which I am the #1 spokescat? Heck no. Bacon and I are best pals. Bacon and I spend EVERY Saturday together. I love sharing my adoration of bacon with you every week (or more often!) and I hope you look forward to Saturday Bacon too. If not, you’d better have a little talk with your humans. ASAP!
I thought you might enjoy a little update on our fabulous crop of bacon plants which we grew from the bacon seeds Kitties Blue sent to us this summer. The Greenhouse Bacon Supervisor is happy to report that we should be having quite a wonderful harvest at some point as our plants mature and blossom and at last we will see bacon flowers, leading to bacon “fruit” and then it’s just a hop skip and jump from THAT to the breakfast table!

Our Supervisor is on top of things and making sure the crew inspects the plants daily and gives them whatever care they require to stay HEALTHY and HAPPY!
No critters here!
All is well in this patch!
Our official GARDEN GNOME is our “backup plan” to keep all the little bacon babies safe from marauders and bacon bandits……..nobody goes up against a GARDEN GNOME that’s for sure!
Our official Garden Gnome hard at work keeping PESTS out!
So see? Everything is good and on schedule. Our bacon crop is in good hands……………….(or paws).
While I wait for a FRESH crop of bacon, I shall enjoy the bacon that my Mom has purchased from the grocery which of course will NOT measure up to HOME GROWN which we hope to have early this Summer…………………..keep your paws crossed that things continue to go well. You can be sure we’ll be having a BIG harvest party when the time comes and all of you will be invited!
MMMMM……a bacon sammmmich for breakfast!
Happy Bacon Day!

I think those bacon plants have to go through an intermediary before becoming bacon. 🙂

Sammy, those bacon plants are PRIME! You and your supervisors have done an outstanding job in obtaining and nurturing them to the healthy condition they are now in. I was wondering, do they produce flowers from which the bacon comes or do the strips come out from the limbs? Altogether something each of we kitties are looking forward to! Ommmm nom nom nom.

My Mom has ALWAYS wanted a greenhouse. A bazillion years ago her first hubby made one for her out of 2x4s and big sheets of plastic. It had a space heater inside…….and it actually worked VERY VERY WELL. Amazing.
