Adding Features To Your House And Garden

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:48:46 -0600

Planning your driveway and walkways so that they take up a minimum amount of room yet still provide a strong enough surface for the traffic they will bear, calls for careful thinking. The well-designed house and grounds have the garage close to the house and near to the street. The garage situated way in back of the house is a hangover from horse-and-buggy days when the stable had to be remote from the house. Today when the majority of home owners have cars, space can be saved by using a garage path that also serves as the house path, or feeds into a short house walk. But though the driveway can be a short one, plan for off-street parking- have your driveway at least feet from the street. Most home driveways break down under heavy service trucks and traffic because the soil under the driveway is wet. Adequate drainage for wet spots, therefore, is a necessity. Good driveway materials are stable, and should not get washed away by storms or shovelled up with snow. If, however, the driv...

Beating The Weeds In Your Garden

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:19:50 -0600

Keeping your landscape plantings, flower beds, and nursery crops free of weeds is a battle, but if you approach it with a strategic plan, you will prevail. In order to develop a plan, you first must understand how weeds work, and what kind of weeds you are dealing with. Basically weeds grow either from seed, or they reproduce from their roots. As the roots grow outward from the parent plant, new plants sprout up from the lateral roots, creating more parent plants and the process continues and the weeds thrive. Weeds that tend to reproduce from the root are usually more difficult to control. Weed control facts? Weeds are plants, and they function just like the desirable plants in your yard. They need water, sunlight, and nutrition to survive. Of these three key survival needs, the easiest one for a gardener to eliminate is sunlight. Through proper mulching you can eliminate the sunlight. But first, let's look at the steps you should go through before you mulch, then we'll discuss the be...

Before you buy new plants for your garden, no matter where you are getting them from, there are a number of things you should look for to determine whether or not it is good enough to plant, although the chances are that there is less likelihood of disease if you buy your new plants from a reputable garden centre or nursery.

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:31:47 -0600

Originally, Burmese cats were exclusively brown, but years of selective breeding have produced a wide variety of colours. Different associations have different rules about which of these count as Burmese The Burmese is an extremely friendly and affectionate cat and needs attention from human beings to be happy when kept in a domestic environment. They are extremely playful and can be taught to fetch toys like a dog. They are tolerant of and good with children and make wonderful family pets. They are also very sensitive to their owner's feelings. If the owner is likely to be out all day it is often a good idea to have two Burmese, as they can become bored very quickly with no one to play with. If you cannot be at home with your Burmese for at least half the day you really should give it a companion. They are very demanding and will follow you around the house crying for attention and generally like being cuddled. Burmese are very vocal cats and will greet you when you return home or sp...

Holly the Siamese Cat

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 06:26:33 -0600

Holly The Siamese Cat Holly was a Chocolate tabby point Siamese cat and when she was eighteen months old I mated her to a stunning red point champion and nine weeks later she had a litter of five kittens. At the same time my Burmese cat Mabel had a litter of four kittens. Over the first week of the kittens lives four of the Siamese died leaving Holly the mother with only one, Isobel. Holly and Mabel shared caring for the kittens, feeding whichever kitten was nearest. It was heartbreaking losing the little ones but Holly did not seem to miss them too badly and after looking for them for a couple of days she settled down with the other kittens. When the kittens were four weeks old Mabel, who was not a very good mother decided to pop out and came back with a broken leg having been hit by a vehicle. We rushed her to the vet and unfortunately she died under the anaesthetic while her leg was being set and Holly then took over the care of Mabel's four kittens and her own one. Holly looked af...
