🐍 Is it deadly snake? 2025 was the Year of the Snake...

That scary-looking black garden snake? Totally harmless.
In Florida, most black snakes you see around gardens are Black racer or Black rat snake. They are not poisonous, not deadly, and actually great neighbors.
Black racer - Coluber constrictor
Black rat snake - Pantherophis alleghaniensis
Both are non-venomous, common in Florida gardens, and often mislabeled as "deadly" just because they look bold and move fast.
  • ▪️They are actually shy - would rather run than fight
  • ▪️Excellent pest control - they eat rats, mice, frogs, and insects
  • ▪️Often mistaken for dangerous snakes because they are fast and jet black
  • ▪️If you see one, it means your garden ecosystem is healthy


So no, this is not a deadly snake - just a free garden helper doing its job. Let it pass, and it will disappear as fast as it showed up!

🐎 2026: Year of the Fire Horse - time to grow bold, live free, and plant lucky
  • 🔥 Hold on to your flower pots - because on February 17, 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse gallops in, ready to shake things up.

  • This zodiac year brings passion, freedom, and a go-big-or-go-home kind of energy.
    If you've been itching to make a change, start a new project, or finally plant that herb garden - this is your cosmic green light!
  • 🔥 What kind of energy does the Fire Horse bring?


  • The Horse is all about movement, independence, and bold decisions. Fire Horses, in particular, are fiery (naturally), adventurous, and stubborn in the best way. They're known for charging ahead fearlessly - sometimes without thinking it through. That means 2026 is a year to take chances, but stay grounded. Think big, but don’t skip the planning.
  • 🔥 What does that have to do with plants?


A lot, actually. Horses are herbivores. In the year of the Fire Horse, plants aren’t just background decoration - they’re fuel, fortune, and Feng Shui. The Fire element thrives on bright colors, strong scents, and warm energy, so the right plants can balance all that intensity, boost your luck, and keep your home and garden in harmony.
