This is the time of year when I plant my feng shui garden. Just like the magic square program, I divide the garden up into nine squares. I then plant one different fruit or vegetable in each square. I always watch to see what veggie is growing the best and which ones need more fertilizer, water or sunshine. The arugula in the lower left corner is doing really well, and so is the kale in the fourth square. Not only am I cultivating food, it gives me an indication of the feng shui of my entire garden and house.

This is because he shou wu helps support kidney and liver function.
