...Of all three fire signs, Sagittarius is the least likely to care with growing plants.... In the short hours of
rest, he will gladly look and smell, and taste, and even will delighted with them (if time remains),
thinking: "Beautiful! I hadn't noticed before?" And, instructing someone to start growing the plants he likes, this
tireless Archer will hurry further...
Plants that can attract the attention of Sagittarius most often have large
spectacular flowers with a pronounced scent, often they have large, elongated leathery leaves. And
he also really likes fruits and nuts - he loves a deliciousness....

sagittate!) shoots, and overall rarity makes these plants stand out next to
more traditional house plants. These plants are known as needing little more
love and care, but also for being able to return these benefits to their
gardener. Alocasias are so perfect for Sagittarius, he feels their vibrations,
which are so necessary for him in achieving his goals. They are the real
talisman for this sign...

...Scorpio loves plants very much, they can provide invaluable assistance
to this sign. Plants are able to calm Scorpio, transfer his attention and
passionate energy to himself and transform it, directing it into a creative
direction....

despite all their effectiveness, are often unpretentious and can grow in the most
unfavorable conditions...

Grow Your Own Food
Avocado variety - what's the taste?
We obtained Black
Prince Avocado variety this year and at first didn't know much about it.
Until we tried the first fruit! The fruit was large, oval, green and
slightly pebbly. We were not sure if it would taste like some green avocados -
watery and less buttery? The fruit turned black couple days after it was picked,
ripened and softened. We were pleasantly surprised, Black Prince deserves its
title! The fruit pulp is thick, and has a rich, nutty flavor. The little
trees grew this year vigorously and didn't show any bug or deficiency problems.
Superior variety for a backyard grower! Giving it 5 stars! *****
We have Black Prince
Avocado in 3 gal pots, as well as in XX-Large size for local pick up - for those who want a large fruiting
size tree, please contact our Garden Center to pre-order from our Growing Farm (B-Farm).
It can be delivered and installed for you!
