...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... CONTINUE READING >>

Gemini Zodiac
lucky plants
Gemini -
5/21-6/20.
Ruled by the mutable, changeable planet Mercury (also patron of the art of
medicine), Gemini is an AIR sign. Plants ruled by Mercury tend to have ferny
or highly-divided leaves or stems (like the bronchi of lungs), hairy or fuzzy
leaves (related to the cilia in the lungs), or subtle odors.
Gemini rules the lungs, shoulders, arms, and hands. Its plants help to
strengthen the lungs and respiratory system, relax the nervous system, strengthen
ears and hearing, the tongue and speaking, the vocal cords, lungs and
thyroid, as well as the shoulders, arms, and hands. Gemini has so much going on
mentally that they may need a little help to digest all the information they're
constantly absorbing. Herbs that have clean, pure flavor not only help
physical digestion, but assist spiritual and mental intake as well.
Q: Can
you recommend a plant that brings a good luck?
A: On St
Patricks Day, they talk about lucky clover. But did
you know that your odds of finding a 4-leaf clover are
about 1 in 10,000? There is a much better solution -
try beautiful Crown of thorns - Euphorbia

How
to grow a happy Moringa Tree
Q: We purchased some tropical edible and
medicinal plants from you in August this year. I have a question pertaining to our Moringa tree. When
we purchased it, it was about two foot tall. It has put on tremendous growth
and is now a little under ten foot tall. My question is, should a Moringa be
losing lower leaves at this point? The bare limbs are still green and the top
looks to have healthy green leaves.
A: Thank you for choosing our Moringa tree, and
sharing the picture. It's great to see that your tree appears healthy and
happy - it's a resilient plant. Given the relatively dry Fall we've experienced
this year, a little extra water can make a significant difference.
Here are some suggestions to ensure your Moringa thrives:
Watering: While Moringa is generally drought-tolerant, during dry
periods, in addition to relying on your lawn sprinkler system, add some
extra water with a hose. Adequate moisture is crucial for maintaining healthy
foliage.
Pest Control: Moringa is not only a nutritious plant for humans
but also attracts pests that appreciate its medicinal properties :) If you
notice insect damage on the leaves, consider spraying with Neem oil or using an
over-the-counter systemic insecticide containing imidacloprid or a similar
ingredient.
Seasonal Behavior: Moringa trees are semi-deciduous to deciduous,
and their leaf-shedding behavior can vary depending on the climate. In
Florida, for instance, it's common for Moringa trees to shed leaves in the Fall.
However, this is a natural process, and you can expect new growth in the
Spring.
Fertilizing for Vigorous Growth: To promote the most vigorous
growth of your Moringa tree and other plants in your garden, consider
implementing a fertilizing program. If using dry, slow-release fertilizers, apply them
only during the active growth season: from March through November. If you're
looking for a year-round solution, liquid amino acid-based formulas like
Sunshine Boosters can be a great option. You can easily add them to your watering
routine or use injectors like The Robuster for convenient and consistent feeding. If you're planning
to expand your garden with other medicinal plants or an edible forest, The
Robuster smart fertilizing system is an excellent choice, offering the most
efficient, care-free way to nourish your plants with natural nutrients
throughout the year.
