HO HO HO~ You know what’s the season of the year!

It was both fun and exciting for DESIGN SEED in this amazing year. Often times we find beautiful lessons through moments like festivals, especially Christmas!

Little did you know, smiling would throw a feel-good party in your mind that aid in reducing stress? We have learned that taking a break, and doing less is the trick to achieving more. Just like a smiley sloth, we could be happier and healthier!

Hence, we reveal our special project for this year’s Christmas – A Special Gatsby Christmas!

Nut trees I’m growing:

– Hazelnuts
– Filberts
– Hazelberts
– Walnut (black, Carpathian)
– Butternut
– Buartnut
– Hickory
– Cold hardy almond
– Cold hardy pecan (may have died this winter)
– Heartnut
– Oak (acorn)
– Chestnut (various, mostly seedlings, Eng/Eu mix to try to restore them – likely to expand this in the future, especially in wilder areas)

Am I forgetting some? Possibly…

Which are my favorites?

It may change over the years, because right now only some of those are producing, but already I have some advice to give on what you SHOULD be growing, and what you may want to grow more selectively.

This is likely my last video before Christmas. Whatever your religion, holiday that you celebrate, I hope you are having a wonderful time with friends and family, and are being safe and secure.

Have a great end to 2022, and a wonderful start to 2023. Start planning that food forest, or where you are going to expand it!

NEVER STOP PLANTING!

I’ve been getting requests to do a build for African Dwarf Frogs for years now. These adorable little frogs are pretty common and easy to care for. You just have to ensure they’re well fed and in a clean, well-decorated enclosure. If given the proper environment, they’ll thrive and surely bring a smile to your face. I haven’t kept them in many years, but I really enjoyed them when I did.

Like any frog, they’ll eat anything they can fit in their mouth. So keep that in mind if you decide to cohabitate with anything else. They’re timid and not great at finding food, making them easily out competed. Taking the time to hand feed can eliminate this issue entirely and they’ll learn when it’s time to do so. Just make some noise and be patient. Once one comes the rest will follow. This will also greatly mitigate the risk of impaction. That said, if you use a fine substrate it shouldn’t be an issue because they’re pretty good about spitting out non-food items. Definitely worth noting regardless. Go easy on the bloodworms as well. They’re not a great staple food and should be provided sparingly.

Also, as I said in the video I don’t think they’re for everyone. They take a little bit of extra care, but if you’re willing to provide it, they’re a very rewarding frog to keep. They’re just so tiny, clumsy, and goofy! Plus they do incredible in groups and interact with each other. That said, if you hear a little “buzzing” or “chirping” sound near the tank, it’s probably a male frog calling for a female. If he’s feeling good, you’ll hear him all the time!

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the video! Let me know what you think about these little frogs and if you do or have kept them before.
