My cats ignored cat grass.

Sammy (the one that ate the cassette tape) regularly munches on the indoor ivy plant. Doesn't seem to be poisonous. Keep finding tiny fang marks in the leaves.
When she has hairballs and throws up, she rushes around and eats all the cobwebs she can find - seems to settle her stomach. Go figure!
Both our dog and cat (the one that my daughter takes for walks) eat grass all the time outside, then come inside and promptly throw up on the carpet.

The other cat, that doesn't get to go outside, eats plastic bags all the time .

There is a type of grass that is called "cat's grass" in French, because cats are supposed to love it. I also remember, when my parents had dogs, they used to eat grass sometimes. So I think "pet grass" is grass (as in lawn grass), not wheat.
catnip, Nepeta cataria. They go crazy with it.

vegetable patches and weeds
I planted the lettuce in October, it went to -15°C. We got about 40 inches of snow overall, and here it is, Winter Lettuce! The boxes of concrete are good for the back of yours truly. Just few weeds.

@WT Sharpe: great job, I am proud of you. Your beautiful helper is a Carlino?

I've see that 'Pet grass' in the pet stores. Is that what it is Wheat or Oats? or ?
The stuff sold as 'Pet Grass' in the shops here look just like the oats that I grow. The only difference is that the growing plants cost about $3.00 USD for one pot while the package of oat seeds that I bought at the '100 Yen Shop' produces about 20-30 pot-fulls for 1/3 the price. Of course I do have to hire tiny farmers to come in an plant it...

Waved the green plumes of Mondamin,
Waved his soft and sunny tresses,
Filling all the land with plenty.
`T was the women who in Spring-time
Planted the broad fields and fruitful,
Buried in the earth Mondamin;
`T was the women who in Autumn
Stripped the yellow husks of harvest,
Stripped the garments from Mondamin,
Even as Hiawatha taught them.

Great photos! You should have quite a bit of success with that setup. Love the Winter Lettuce photo!

He's a fawn pug. I've never heard of the designation carlino, but it pops up on pug sites, so I'll have to research that further. He was jumping up on me this morning, and I tried to get a shot of him in the air. Kind of hard to catch the moment with the shutter delay of a digital camera!

Here's another shot of Norton.
