    Some of the best things happen every morning in my garden. The garden itself is not too big. You can hop-step-and-jump from the front door to the gate leading to the road without any trouble, or seeing anything of […]

    • Good to hear of your family adventure. The garden makes the house so pretty. Good luck with your Farmville. Try some fruits if you have the space.

    • Growing flowers in the garden is a very complicated job because very flower is pretty and sure but the best choice is difficult for the person who is growing the best flowers in his garden.

      Flower gardens can turn an ordinary area into a colorful showcase or create a border that pops. Whether you choose an easy to manage perennial or a particularly touchy annual, growing flowers is a rewarding addition to any yard or landscape.

      Perennial plants come back year after year, growing in stature and size until they reach maturity. Some perennials lose their vigor after 3-4 years and may need to be replaced. One advantage to perennial flowers — beyond the fact that they do not require replanting every year — is that they can be divided and planted throughout the garden.

      When starting plants from seed, be sure that your soil has been adequately prepared. Dig a small hole in the ground according to the directions on the seed packet (usually about twice the depth of the seed) and drop in a couple of seeds. Cover with soil and water gently, but thoroughly. Be sure to keep the soil moist as the seed sprouts. If you have trouble getting seeds to grow, check out “Why Seeds Won’t Grow.”

      Many flowers are started in a greenhouse before moving to the garden. Whether you grow your own seedlings or purchase them from a garden store.

      Caring For Cut Flowers

      You may want to use some of your flowers for arrangements in the house. There are several techniques for keeping cut flowers that prolong their life — and enjoyment!

      Cut the stems under water to avoid letting air into the delicate plant cells. This can be done by cutting flowers in the garden, and immediately taking them inside to cut them again under a running faucet or in a bucket of water.
      Use a knife and cut the stem on an angle. This will open the veins and allow more water to be taken up. Scissors can seal off the stem by pushing the outside of the stem toward the middle.
      Immediately place the cut flowers in a clean vase filled with warm water. Remove all the leaves that are below the water line; they will quickly rot and pollute the water.
      Keep the vase in a cool spot for the first hour or two while the flowers recover from shock. Then display the arrangement away from cool or warm drafts and fruit (apples, for instance, emit ethylene gas — a hormone that promotes aging in flowers).
      Change the water in the vase daily to keep it fresh.

    I love gardens and we used to do a lot in my previous house. Now we have moved to an apartment and we do not have the space. Still I like reading and commenting about gardening.

    Vivian Sudhir wrote a new post, Why cats meow 8 years, 5 months ago

    My mornings invariably begin like yours, with the newspaper and morning coffee. My cat does not meow! It maintains a stoic silence and does not communicate until breakfast time. Then it keeps hitting all the legs […]

    • Yes, you have a kind heart. I also like my cat very, very much. But at times, I get the feeling…

    • I love this animals I wish I could enough money to buy one and set it free

    • @Vivian Sudhir A stray cat visits us and we never hear it meow. He comes twice – once in the morning for his milk and once at lunch time when we feed him.

    • It depends on the situation why the cat meows. Meowing is a form of cat’s way of communicating with its master, with its fellow cats. They meow for several reasons. As far as I know, I may base it on my experience. And these are they as follows when:

      1. They want to ask for food.
      2. They are mating.
      3. They are hurt.

      But in reality, we have a lot of domesticated cats at home. They are stray cats who stayed at the house for their foods. And we are compelled to adopt them. As of now, we have three of them. They seldom make any noise. They are reserved type of feline creature.

      We couldn’t sleep at night when it is their mating period. They are too noisy. We keep on shouting them to keep quite, but they still continue. So we drive them out from the house and they do their thing there. I don’t know if they comfortable there.

      • Yes, they do make terrible noises when they mate. But in the ordinary situation, they make very adorable meows. A house with cats is always lively. Are they females? You can get plenty of kittens then.

        • Why are they noisy and they are displaying a violent reaction? I notice that it is the female cat who is reacting, who is fighting back the male. I try to observe on how they are doing their act on the way they behave. I would take a video next time when I happen to be around when they mate.

          Is there another animal besides cat that is too violent and very noisy when they are mating? Only the cats for we are raising them. What about the tigers for they belong to the feline family? Well, I don’t think if they do for they never meow. Don’t they? Only animals that meow are creating loud noise when they are mating. Aren’t?

          This would be our homework to search for another animal that makes us irritable when they are doing their thing. They are producing sounds of violence when they do that. Would it be agreeable? I am just curious if there are.

          • I think it is like this. When the animal belongs to our group, we do not hear the noise or the noise is pleasant. But when they are in the opposite group, the noise makes us angry and we get violent.
            So, when we hear the noise, we turn in our sleep and ‘get rid’ of that group. That is a mild explanation.
            I too would like to hear if there are any other species that make noise.

    • Reading a cats language or even a babies language is always difficult and maybe frustrating at first but eventually by paying attention you will catch on to what it wants, you will learn what certain tones of meows mean just like a baby or any other animal.
