Eden Awakens:)

      My greenhouse cabinet is working fantastically.    Seedling are loving it and they are eager to get into Eden!   It’s always so exciting to walk around Eden and see it coming to life. I will leave the leaves for now. They not only hide the young vulnerable waking plants from animals but will act as a blanket should the unpredictable early spring weather suddenly dip. (Some snow predicted for Thursday) after the temps being in the upper 60s to 70.  So is true that many beneficial insects may be sheltered in the leaves. Like praying mantis. My favorite garden warrior. Here is what spring has gifted me thus far. I’m praying for a steady warm up so I can harden off my seedlings that are ready for Eden... hopefully, late April this year.                 Fringed tulips                  Day lilies                   Crocu...

My Dog Food Recipe Video

 At the request of a friend who also has a senior Chi with the typical Chi tooth issues... I shot a quick video showing how I make a healthy dog food for Lily. She was refusing to eat every food I bought for her. It took a while but, I finally found an easy to eat healthy recipe for her. Now she’s gaining the weight she lost back and her coat is healthy again:) Not to mention her energy which is back to normal again. Below is a link to my YouTube channel video.  https://youtu.be/17doemnzTzI It was fun to get back to shooting a quick video and my “director” was so much fun to work with;) ❤️❤️❤️            The usual light-hearted Christina Bell Video:)
