Spring Dangers

As the weather gets warmer, the flowers start to bloom and the leaves start growing, we all rejoice by spending more hours face in the sun playing with our popular dogs and romping nearby in the grass. We all love spring and can't wait to share it with our pets. Before you slip on your galoshes and leashes, there are some things you should be ready for.

Spring may bring the sunshine but it also brings the bugs like flies, fleas and ticks. Our smaller breeds such as Puggle puppies, Beabull puppies and English Bulldog puppies, who love to be face and burn off as much energy as they can, are at greater risk because of their short coat and low nearnessy to the ground. These breeds honestly pick up eggs of unhatched flies, flea larvae and even early ticks that are waiting in the higher grass. English Bulldog puppies, for example, approximately scrape their belly on the ground when they walk, manufacture them a exquisite target for as many fleas that can reach him. Or your Puggle puppy who can't seem to resist the weeds and woods - ticks are just lying in wait as he runs through.

Longer hair breeds are just as susceptible, such as Yorkie puppies. Their long hair makes like a red rug for fleas and ticks to be honestly conveyable directly on to their bodies, into your house and all straight through your carpeting. It only takes 1 flea to infest an entire house within days. But how do you safe them?

Spring Dangers

As soon as the snow melts and the weather is 40 or over for a few consecutive days, start getting the flea medicines ready for your pets. Advantage is great for holding fleas away and killing ones that may already be living on your dog. Frontline is a full defense against fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. Both of these need to be applied once per month and you, and your pet, will have total protection for the whole summer through!

Arctic beauty Kiwis - Why You Should Add This Fruit to Your organery

The Arctic charm Kiwi is a native of Russia. The most hardy of all kiwi vines, it is able to withstand temperatures of -40 degrees, and thrives from Canada to Florida. It's vibrant shades of hot pink, white and jade colored leaves make it a perfect show piece for your garden.

Because it is a vine, it is best to grow this kiwi on a trellis, or let it climb along your fence. It can grow 15 to 20 feet in a particular year, but is well managed with pruning, and easy to train. I bought a glider swing, trellis and arbor combo, and planted one male and one female kiwi on each side. This has worked incredibly well for me, as the plants grew up the sides of the trellis and covered the top providing shade for the swing by the time weather got positively hot. I also love being able to pluck the kiwis right off the vine while gliding on my swing. It is now the focal point of my yard, and my neighbors have all come over to find out what it is, and where I found them. The fact that they naturally attract butterflies and hummingbirds to your yard is just other bonus you get by adding the Arctic charm Kiwi to your garden.

Bloom Energy

The female kiwi has to be pollinated by a male plant in order to furnish kiwi fruit. The male plant however, does not furnish fruit itself. It concentrates all of its energy into bloom production, providing the most dazzling display of hot pink, cream and jade colors to your garden. It flowers heavily, bringing a rich pleasant fragrance into your garden. When you order, you will receive one male kiwi vine, and one female kiwi vine - which should be planted side by side.

Your Arctic charm Kiwi will not furnish fruit the first year, any way you should begin to have fruit production by the second year, with increases each following year. A mature Arctic charm Kiwi can furnish up to 200 pounds of kiwis. This kiwi produces small, flat skinned fruit about the size of a large grape, that are positively delicious. It is just as sweet and tangy as a fuzzy kiwi, packed with all the same vitamin C, only you get the added advantage of having it growing right in your own back yard. The delightful colors last from spring until frost, and it flourishes in zones 3-9. By adding this gorgeous vine to your yard you get the best of both worlds - added charm and yummy fruit = edible landscaping, what a great idea! I hope that you enjoy having this luscious fruit in your yard as much as I do.
