Cashews: more magnesium than almonds!

  • 🌰 Cashews might be the real nutty winner when it comes to magnesium. One ounce provides about 83 mg, or roughly 20% of your daily need, slightly topping almonds at 76 mg, according to Verywell Health.
  • 🌰 Magnesium plays a key role in your body’s daily operations - it helps your heart, muscles, and bones function properly, keeps blood pressure steady, and supports your energy and metabolism. Yet many people still fall short of getting enough.
  • 🌰 Along with magnesium, cashews are packed with protein, healthy fats, copper, zinc, and iron - all nutrients your body depends on.


🏆 More magnesium-rich fruit:



Avocado


Avocados are famous for their healthy fats, but they’re also surprisingly high in magnesium - about 58 mg per medium fruit. That’s one of the highest amounts among fruits. Their creamy texture and fiber content make them especially gentle on the stomach, helping digestion and easing constipation. Regularly adding avocado to meals can support gut health, muscle function, and overall mineral balance in a naturally delicious way.

🍍 Pineapple


Best known for its enzyme bromelain, pineapple also provides a helpful 20 mg of magnesium per cup. While not the top source, it offers a rare combination of fiber, enzymes, and minerals that benefit the digestive system. Bromelain helps reduce inflammation in the gut, and magnesium keeps digestive muscles relaxed. Together, they make pineapple a light, refreshing choice for better digestion and a balanced system.

✅ How to get more magnesium:

  • • Eat a mix of magnesium-rich foods every day - your body only absorbs about half of what you consume.
  • • Try pairing magnesium-rich sources. Add Cashews, Avocados, Bananas, Pineapple, or Spinach to your meals and snacks.
  • • Remember, caffeine, age, and certain medications can reduce absorption, so balance your diet and check with your doctor if needed.
  • • A handful of cashews can go a long way - for your heart, your energy, and your bones.

PeopleCats.Garden Official Cat Feeding Policy

⬆️ PeopleCats.Garden Official Cat Feeding Policy



Updated whenever the cats decide it's outdated.
  • 🐾 1. Feeding schedule


  • Cats are to be fed when hungry, which, according to them, is always.
  • If a cat claims to be starving five minutes after eating - believe them. You're late.


🐾 2. Approved food items

  • Gourmet kibble that costs more than your lunch
  • Wet food served at room temperature, on a ceramic dish
  • Treats (because they did a thing)
  • That expensive tuna you bought for yourself - it's theirs now


🐾 3. Prohibited food items

  • Anything labeled "vet-approved"
  • Leftovers (unless you're trying to insult them)
  • Generic brand food (how dare you)


🐾 4. Feeding etiquette

  • Do not make eye contact while they eat. You'll break the spell.
  • Food must be served with a verbal offering: "Here you go, dinner is served, Your Majesty."
  • If multiple cats are present, they all want what the other one got. Rotate plates. Begin again. Forever.


🐾 5. Midnight snacks

  • Yes.
  • Don't ask.


🐾 6. The "empty bowl" rule

  • If a bowl is 70% full, it's 100% empty.
  • Refill immediately. Apologize for the oversight.


🐾 7. Human consequences



Failure to follow these guidelines may result in:
  • Judgmental stares
  • Paw-swat to the face at 3 a.m.
  • Strategic hairball placement
  • Passive-aggressive purring near guests who like dogs


❗️Note: All policies are subject to change without notice, based on the whims of the feline board of directors.

...Taurus Cats are real sybarites! They are relaxed and seeming not to be worried about anything. It is pragmatic, the Cat who comes down to earth. They enjoy being petted, groomed, and they're not likely to pass up a meal. They enjoy their food...
...One of the overriding characteristics of Taurus Cats is that they are gourmands. They are greedy pussy cats who put on layers for winter… all year around. They also have impeccable taste in food as they prefer human food to cat food, likely because human food costs more...
...They may also enjoy dreaming in a garden, nestled in the shade of plants with soft, broad leaves ...may listen the chirping birds with half-opened eyes, observing them at the same time - just in case...

Best tasting white guava

Q: What's your best tasting white guava?

A: Our favorite white Guava is Viet Nam variety that is also very rare and hard to find. The fruit is very large, up to 6" in diameter, the pulp is very sweet and somewhat crunchy. The seeds are small which makes it more pleasurable to eat out of hand.
Another great feature of this variety, it stays compact and branches do not get leggy, unlike most guavas. It can be easily grown in a container, trimmed to the desired size and it will produce fruit under proper care.

Another cool variety is Indonesian, it also has a large round fruit and very few seeds to compare with others.

And last but not least, if you prefer soft fruit to crunchy, the Peruvian variety is a great choice. The fruit is pear-shaped.

Remember to provide plant food for good production, especially if grown in a container.

When to fertilize and prune tropical fruit trees?

Q: Can tropical fruit trees (Soursop, Mango, Star fruit, etc) be given plant food any time of year? Also can they be trimmed this time of year/summer?

A: True tropical plants (including fruit trees) need plant food most of the year in real Tropics, where temperatures have very little fluctuations, and active growth season is close to 12 months a year. In subtropical areas when temperatures in winter drop below 65F, plant metabolism slows down, so it is recommended to fertilize only during the warmest period (March through November). So yes, Summer is the perfect time for fertilizing your trees; their metabolism is at the highest point and they can use more food!

Trim your fruit trees right after harvesting. Obviously, you don't want to prune branches before or during flowering or fruiting. The specific time of the year for pruning depends on the plant - every tree has its own flowering/fruiting season. However, avoid pruning right before winter: young shoots promoted by pruning are tender and can be cold damaged.
