As the Garden Grows

What's blooming today?


Racing and Automotive fans

by

In an earlier post I mentioned SpeedTV, well I spent a bit of time over there watching many of the videos they have online. I particularly liked the section of Motorcycle videos. You should see some of the bikes on the Thunder Sturgis Bike Week video. Many are very unusual. There are so many styles of bikes- I never knew!

I’m not a huge fan of motorcycles- not riding them anyway. For some reason they’ve always bothered me since I was a child. Probably one going by me when I was little scared me and that’s stayed with me. However I do appreciate looking at them and watching skilled riders. Then again, maybe I’m just one of those women that like the guys that ride motorcycles and muscle cars? Yeah maybe.

If you enjoy cars – muscle and otherwise, drag racing, nascar, or motorcycles you might want to visit SpeedTV. com. They also have a fantastic section on Automotive News where you can find information about new car models. This might be of interest to those thinking of purchasing a new car.

Hmmm I wonder if I can find some old car parts or an old motorcycle and use it as a garden prop? Now that might be interesting. Of course it would probably take up my small yard.

Another lovely rose from my garden:

Zephirine Drouin

I have 60 or more rose plants throughout my garden.

This rose is located near my patio because it blooms several times throughout the summer – almost constantly, so there is always a pretty blooming rose to see when we sit on the patio for dinner.

Well, with 60 rose plants I guess I’ve always got a few in bloom anyway, but this one blooms a bit more often than some of the others.

Womens Vitamins

by

I found a website that might be of interest to some of my female readers. Not that I’m trying to exclude my male visitors of course. LOL It’s just that Nutra Origin makes products that are very specific to the needs of women.

The products made by Nutra Origin look like they are very high quality supplements. They have a wide array of Women’s Vitamins and supplements. As a woman suffering from Crohn’s disease I need to take extra supplements of B12, folic acid and Iron because my body is not digesting it’s food properly and I’m losing out on vital nutrients.

One of the products that they have formulated looks very interesting. It’s called PMS Balance – which means it’s a PMS Relief Supplement. It combines Eastern and Western thinking on the origin and treatment of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome. The product is made up of a combination of magnesium, B6, and traditional Chinese herbs that ease menstrual cramps, muscle tension, irritability, bloating and breast tenderness.

Other products that might be of interest to some of you might be their Osteoporosis, Menopause, and pre-natal formulas. Nutra Origin would actually like to hear what types of supplements women want to have, or hear about our specific problems so that they can formulate new products to suit our needs. As I’ve said I need to take B12, folic acid and iron supplements daily because of my crohns. If it were possible for them to make a supplement that combined the three of those vitamins and minerals in the doses that I need I’d love it.

One thing that I like about their site is that they have a section called Health Matrix. It shows many of their products and the type health concerns that women might have. Beside each health concern they list one of their Womens Supplements that might help with that particular condition. They also list some of the ingredients in their products in that section as well.

The womens health section also contains information on various health problems and the products that Nutri Origin makes that will assist with that disorder. Check this site out for yourself and see what you think of it.
