All the Creatures

Here is a handy page for you to bookmark. It is the FDA’s list of pet foods and livestock feeds that have been recalled by the manufacturers due to contamination or having an ingredient added that should not be in the food.

FDA recall page for livestock and pet feeds

The page is always being updated and the list is fairly long. Protect your pets and keep an eye on the products you feed them or expose them to.

I think that is is only natural that pet owners and nature lovers are often gardeners and house plant growers. To me growing plants brings me closer to nature. I grow orchids and many varieties of house plants. Of course during the early spring, like now, I would be starting my vegetables in the greenhouse or indoors.

 

Each year when I get ready to start my vegetable plants I look at the wide variety of potting soils there are. One that has caught my eye is Expand ‘n Groâ„¢ by Miracle-Gro. It is made with coconut fibers that enable the product to expand 3X when water is added to it. There is also fertilizer in the mix, enough for 6 months worth of growth.

Here is a video about the product.

I don’t know if this product will work with my terrestrial orchids but I am going to try the stuff and see how good it is. If you go to the link above you can get a coupon for $3 off a bag. Hey, we could all use some savings now and again.

So what will you grow this year? I remember one year trying to grow catnip for my cat. Guess what happened? The cat had no reaction to the catnip at all. Strange but this was the same cat that got “high” from rubbing on my skin when I had to use Ben Gay for aches and pains.

I used my clear internet to upload our pictures from our recent trip to Yellowstone National Park. I uploaded them to shutterfly.com. After I uploaded them, I was able to send the link with the log in and password to my parents and my in-laws. My husband and I got a Nikon D600 a year ago and have really enjoyed using the camera. It really came in handy in Yellowstone. We got to capture some of nature’s most beautiful scenes. What I think is really the coolest thing about Yellowstone is the diversity of the landscape. Yellowstone is really only like forty square miles of park ( if I remember correctly) but you can drive from sulfur beds, to the top of mountains within twenty minutes. You can swim in a beautiful lake at the bottom of the mountain or take a hike up a mountain and look into a beautiful canyon and need to wear your jacket because you are standing in snow. The landscape is just so amazing and majestic. I really like to see all of the animals too.
