Boost your cats immune system

by

I used to do a lot of pet rescue and as a result I’ve ended up caring for many animals that had health problem related to the poor care given to them by their previous owners, or health problems that developed over time and weren’t taken care of properly before I rescued the animals.

Most of the rescue work that I’ve done has involved reptiles- one of the most poorly cared for and mistreated animals since they are often impulse purchases by people who have no idea of how to care for these very specialized animals. However, pet abuse and mis-care happens with birds, cats and dogs too. It’s something we hear about far too often in the news for my tastes.

As a result of my taking in so many sick animals I know how important it is to have products available in the home that will not only help cure an illness but ones that will help prevent future illnesses.

That’s why I wanted to tell all the cat owners and cat lovers who read this page about ES Clear for Cat Cancer. A with most animals, humans included, cancer counts for a large number of health related deaths.

What if you had a product that could strengthen your cats immune system and thus perhaps prevent the formation of cancer tumors and other illnesses by making the cats own defense mechanisms work properly, or perhaps a product that might give your animal a fighting chance if you were to begin using it shortly after your cats diagnosis with Cancer?

Well, that’s what the ES Clear product is all about. It will help prevent disease in your beloved pet or help him or here fight off serious illnesses. You only need to give your cats a few drops a day, depending on it’s weight, in order to help your cats immune system grow stronger.

ES Clear for cats is an all natural product. Check out the site and see if it’s right for your animal care needs.






Unseasonably warm winter throughout North America

by

People all over parts of North America have become somewhat worried about the strangely warm winter that we’ve been having. While winter seems to have actually hit this area, others still have above average temperatures.

Lawns are still green and possibly growing in some areas, roses and trees still show signs that they have not gone into dormancy, lakes aren’t freezing over, and the earth hasn’t frozen yet.

For areas that have not yet had normal winter weather yet I’m sure it will come, and this is what is causing many gardeners to worry. Should extra protections be put down on the plants that refuse to go to sleep for the winter?

In early January the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in New York City made headlines in early January when five of its ever-blooming cherry trees were profusely in flower. That species (Prunus Fudan-Zakura) is expected to begin flowering in late November, but not in such profusion. A few weeks of unusually balmy weather produced a spectacular run of thousands of blooms.

One of the problems is that many trees and perennial plants need a period of dormancy in order to set blooms. Some of those trees and shrubs – Cherry, apricot, peach, forsynthia, lilac, and rhododendron may not bloom this year, or may have been tricked into thinking they’ve already had a dormant period and begin to bloom – just as the cold weather sets in.

With the ground not having frozen yet in many areas some might even have been tempted to plant some very late spring bulbs but that isn’t the best idea because bulbs such as tulips and daffodils are optimally planted in late fall, when they produce good root growth but no top growth. Bulb root development requires several weeks of cool soil temperatures. We’ve had extra weeks of good rooting conditions this year, but that could end with the cold snap next week. Planting now is risky.

Bulbs that are planted too late in the fall, or even in early winter under conditions such as this won’t develop the roots that they need to sustain future growth. It will still send up a flower stalk in spring, and that stalk will need water and nutrients as it develops. A spring-emerging bulb without roots will die, primarily because there are no roots to provide water to supply the growth.

Planning a garden?

by

Are you planning to beginning gardening this spring? Perhaps you are already a gardener but you plan on adding a new garden bed this season.

Do you know everything you need to know about preparing for a new garden bed? I’ve found some tips that will help you make your garden grow.

Anyone planning to begin a garden or set up a new garden bed should:

1. Plan your garden on paper before you begin. I did this back in the winter of 2002. I had measured my yards dimensions that fall, and I even took some pictures so I could easily remember what plants were already in the garden and how it was set up at the time. Then I began planning on paper using my measurements to map out the garden beds, and patio area.

2. Be sure that your new garden site is –

  • a. In full sun for at least eight hours each day, unless you have a shady yard of course.
  • b. Relatively level, but not in a low spot where cold air settles.
  • c. Well-drained, be sure to notice if the area stays wet for a period of time in the Spring as well even if it’s dry the rest of the season as this can affect your success with plants.
  • d. Close to a water source
  • e. Not near trees. Tree roots can interfere with plant growth and often trees steal the available water from the plants you’re trying to grow.

3. Know your current soil conditions. The soil in my area is a mix of both sand and clay! I amended our soil with triple mix (a mix of manure, peat and top soil). I also decided to create raised beds so that my plants would grow in a foot of my newly amended soil. The plants would also have good drainage and the soil would warm up earlier in the spring due to the raised beds.

Your own soil might need to be amended with lime or peat moss, manure or compost in order to improve it’s texture, and PH. Consider having your soil tested so that you can be sure that it’s PH levels are appropriate for the type of plants you’d like to grow.

4. When you begin your garden don’t go overboard. Plan a garden that you can maintain easily. If you over do the garden by making it too large or by attempting to grow plants with high levels of difficulty you might end up very disappointed. Keep in mind how much time you have for watering, weeding and maintaining the garden when you choose your plants.

5. If you are growing vegetables try to grow species that do well in your area. Tomatoes are a great plant to grow as they are fairly easy and produce an abundant amount of delicious tomatoes.
