Plant Horoscope. Scorpio Zodiac lucky plants: Plants with thorns, red in color, and grow under adversity
Scorpio - 10/23-11/21.
A WATER sign ruled by both Mars and Pluto.
Scorpio's plants are often found in remote places or on poor ground.
They will likely have thorns, can be red in color, and grow under adversity.
The good news is, most of these plants are nearly indestructible! This makes
them desirable for every gardener.
The reproductive organs are ruled by Scorpio, so these are plants that
balance the hormones, regulate the menstrual cycle, help with childbirth and
pregnancy. Until this century, Scorpio was ruled by Mars, and the herbs
associated with it had to do with the urogenital system and the colon. Many of the
herbs related to Scorpio are cleansing and revitalizing. Now, astrologers
assign Scorpio to Pluto, discovered in 1930 (Pluto is said by astrologers to be a higher octave of Mars). Physiologically, Scorpio involves the processes of catabolism and anabolism, the death and regeneration
of body cells. Diseases of Scorpio are often involved with the slow buildup of
toxic substances in the body (carcinogens, etc) or in the mind (anger,
jealousy). Scorpio loves a spice with depth and complexity. Camphor Basil adds
rich flavor to every dish it seasons, and its own aphrodisiac tendencies appeal to
Scorpio's lusty nature.

Asian New Year started! Year of Down to Earth Dog...
Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, started on February 16, 2018. It is the Year of the Yellow Dog, or the Earth Dog.
According to Chinese horoscope, in 2018, the
corresponding element is Earth. Earth is also associated
with the color yellow. The Year of the Earth Dog is
therefore also known as the Year of the Yellow Dog. So
what happens when you mix the Dog with the Earth Element?
The Dog is sincere, independent, and clever. Like man's
best friend, they are extremely loyal and devoted and you
can always count on them to stick by your side.
The Earth element, by its very nature, denotes origins and
growth and is associated with practicality, harmony and
hard work. The Earth seeks to nurture and be nurtured, it
anchors you and provides stability.
A loyal and hard working Dog combined with the steady and
sensible characteristics of Earth, heralds a secure,
rewarding and profitable year. A year of blossoming, to
achieve things, and to thrive. An Earth Dog combines the
integrity and diligence of the dog with a very
"down-to-earth" climate, perfect for longstanding projects
requiring persistence and grit. Real estate is high in the
agenda in the year of the Yellow Dog, whether you are
contemplating any investments or purchasing a home,
everything should align well for you this year.
The Year of the Dog follows an energetic and chaotic Year
of the Rooster... An Earth Dog Year will welcome some much
needed sense of harmony, peace and goodwill, a year of
unity and understanding that will reward all of us for our
hard work and diligence!
Lucky colors for 2018 are colors that symbolize the
element Wood (green) and the element Water (blue). Just
keep your plants green, and get some blue flowers!

Grow Your Own Food
How to garden in South Central Florida
by Ed Jones, the Booster guy
...We are very excited about the garden season this year and feel like we have the best chance yet of producing
some nice veggies since we have been here. I sure hope so as there is nothing better than fresh food from your own garden. If you are not growing your own fruits and vegetables, I would recommend that you give it a try...
...When we lived in Indiana, we had a nice little garden in front of our house and we also had about a half acre planted with tomatoes, potatoes, squashes of all kinds, corn, popcorn, pumpkins, and many other veggies...
...Since my wife and I moved to Florida in 2019, we have continued growing
our own vegetable garden. Now, I must say that it has been quite the experience trying to learn when to
plant things here in south central Florida. It seems that the summer sun can be
so hot that even plants like tomatoes, that love the heat, can't survive?...
Based on our experience, here are some secrets how to do it right...

Paws of the week: Clifford, the Watch Dog
Introducing Clifford, the freshest face on the Top Tropicals team at the
Garden Center and an honorary partner of the PeopleCats (or should we say, PeoplePaws). This
dynamo has been appointed as the chief of our Security Crew, much to everyone's surprise and delight.
Now, the story goes like this: Clifford strolled in from who-knows-where and, with the charm only a puppy can muster, looked
up at Chiane with those soulful eyes as if to say, "Hey, can I crash here?" Well, what else could
she do? She gave him a warm bath, and lo and behold, beneath all that stray dust, Clifford turned out to be
white!
Clifford is a little ball of sunshine. He's got a heart of gold and a zest for life that's absolutely contagious.
When it comes to shipping activities, he's the first one to volunteer. And the best part? Clifford is the epitome of punctuality. You can set your watch by him. He shows up
for work every day with his tail wagging and ready to conquer the world.
Clifford is not just our head of Security Crew; he's our daily dose of happiness and a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life simply wander in when you least expect them!
