I love growing for the planet!

A word from a happy gardener

"...Wow is all I can say, you all sent the most beautiful plants, I never knew the Hawaiian Bell could have so many blooms. It arrived in Excellent shape and I am so very thrilled to have this beautiful plant again. I am keeping inside for a few days until a front goes thru, then it is going to be back in mid 70s.
I give aged worm castings to my plants and recently discovered the plant food that the plant can uptake right away... And lastly, I discovered a potting soil... Some of my plants went wild when I planted them in it. Everything in it is tailored to not burn your plants. So nothing but the very best for Top Tropical plants. Thank you all so much for this wonderful plant, I will treasure and take good care of it. I have over 500 plants in pots, because of gophers and nematodes. I love nature so do not want to kill the gophers because the owls we have here depend on them and poisoning is a horrible death. Much love, happiness and gratitude.
You can use pics - I love growing for the planet. I so love cats too, I have 5 most of them Siamese. I found this pic of cats online, wow how did they breed for a cat to have such big ears?
Much love and happiness, Donna..."

PeopleCats of TopTropicals. Cat of the Month: Moishe, the Google Intern with a Sweet Tooth

Just a few months ago we introduced our new Little Purrrson Jim II that we got as a "toy" for intellectual Google the Cat, to cheer him up after he lost his friend Jim I... Jim II, the fluffy goofball, grew up in no time and in his turn, requested entertainment, since Google bored him with his technical lectures... So we got a toy for Jim-the-toy... and he turned out to be - another mini-Google!
Moishe is very busy young individual, spending his day solving math equations and discovering laws of physics... Google appreciates the new generation's input. Jim II is simply glued to the little guy. He follows Moishe everywhere, including boring seminars by Google. Jim loves his new little brother with all his heart!
Moishe's favorite things are - gravity experiments, reading scientific manuscripts, and eating JAM for breakfast! No toast required.

The Passion Fruit - Juicy Maracuya

by Alex Butova, the Witch of Herbs and Cats

...There was an unexpected confusion with the name of this plant. Most people understand its name literally: passiflora - a flower of passion, and its fruits - the fruits of passion, implying human, earthly passions. Nevertheless, the passion fruit is so called because it is one of the many  species  of  passion flower, the English translation of the Latin genus name,  PassiFlora.
Learn more about this delicious, flavorful fruit and how to grow it in your own garden in no time...
