🌳 Paws, Claws, and Garden Flaws: How Cats Help in the Garden

😨 Pest Control (Sort of): Cats love to chase bugs, mice, and lizards, though they rarely catch them. Mostly, they just keep pests entertained until they die of laughter or exhaustion.

😎 Quality Control Inspectors: Every freshly dug hole, bag of soil, or new plant needs a thorough inspection. Expect your cat to sit on it, sniff it, or bat at it like a professional.

💩 Fertilizer Experts: Got a sandy patch? Your cat will "fertilize" it for free - just don't ask what they're burying.

🚽 Weed Prevention: Cats help stop weed growth by rolling around and flattening anything remotely green and edible. Who needs grass when you have a furry steamroller?

• 
  🐈 Scarecrows on Demand: No bird or squirrel will dare stick around when your cat strikes their ultimate "hunting pose". Bonus: the pose is 90% napping 😴

🤗 Mood Boosters: Cats are pros at reminding you to take a break. Just try to resist when they flop dramatically onto your tools or demand belly rubs mid-planting.

• 
  🐈 Your garden may not be more productive, but it'll definitely be more entertaining with a cat around!

❓ How to care for your mango tree in winter

• 
  🥭 If you want to enjoy mangoes like ours (in the video) next summer, protecting your tree in winter is a must! Give it the care it needs now, and you'll reap sweet rewards when the warm weather returns.
• 
  🥭 Keep it cozy and protected: Mango trees love warmth, so when winter comes, they need extra care to stay happy.
• 
  🥭 Temperature: Mango trees are sensitive to cold. If temperatures drop below 35F, cover the tree with frost cloth or burlap to protect it. For potted mango trees, move them indoors or to a greenhouse.
• 
  🥭 Watering: Reduce watering during winter. Mango trees don’t like soggy roots in cold weather. Let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
• 
  🥭 Mulching: Add a thick layer of mulch around the base of the tree to insulate the roots and retain warmth. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the trunk.
• 
  🥭 No pruning: Avoid heavy pruning in winter, as it can stress the tree. Besides, pruning promotes young tender growth that may get cold damaged. Save major trimming for spring.
• 
  🥭 Feeding: Stop dry fertilizer in winter. The tree slows its growth, so too much dry fertilizer can do more harm than good. You can continue using Sunshine Boosters Mango Tango year-round because it is water-soluble and natural, and the amount of food needed will adjust with reduced watering.
