Good evening,
Taking orders for our Wonky Christmas Trees.

Last year, I was selling these amazing trees. Once again we are selling them. I am so happy to be able to provide a different type of decor. They are not sealed but can be. If left to the natural elements these trees will age and take in a grey tone. Over the summer I moved them to my backyard to use as decor in the garden. The birds loved them.
I could talk forever on how great they are.
Great for gifts and supporting a neighborhood business.
Heights range from 2-4ish feet.
$30 per tree.
Fresh trees available tomorrow afternoon.

They are selling out quickly.
Orders can taken here.

With this warm weather comes pests. Here is a great article on how to combat them naturally.
Ask your local Greenhouse or garden centre if they have these.

Interesting Article - Working With Nature to Avoid Environmental and Health Hazards of Common Flea Pesticides

Fleas are a recurring problem for vets, pet owners, and our pets who love to be outdoors. People often fail to realize that only 5% of the flea population at any given time is mature enough to jump on our pets. The other 95% of the population exists at different levels of maturity, including eggs, larvae, and pupae.

The majority of the flea life cycle doesn’t happen on the animal, it happens after the eggs dry and fall off of the animals’ body. The common flea has been found on over 130 wild animal species around the world. So, even if you remove fleas from your pets’ hair or fur, a squirrel, possum, or fox could very likely bring more fleas into your yard the very next day. This makes the soil an essential arena for combatting recurring flea problems.

So what do you do about the soil? Fleas' natural predator are soil-dwelling insect-parasitic nematodes that kill all flea stages except for eggs. Topical flea medications usually require the adult flea to bite the pet in order to be effective - targeting only 5% of the flea population. Applying beneficial nematodes to the soil expands that range to 50% of the flea population. Beneficial nematodes are invisible to the naked eye, but they have a huge impact. They kill fleas biologically within 48 hours of application by entering their bodies, depositing a lethal bacteria, and then feeding and breeding inside the flea for 20-30 days. The body of a flea larva is spacious enough that the nematode population can grow from just one or two nematodes to 1,000 nematodes in only one month. They can then patrol the soil for up to two years, waiting for their next meal. Even if new fleas are introduced to the environment, they will quickly become food for your nematode guardians!
