The tail end of summer is one of the busiest seasons in the garden.   The slightly cooler weather gives the plants a burst of energy, with beautiful summer blooms, a bounty of vegetables, and unfortunately, weeds.   It is also the ideal time for planting fall perennials, spring bulbs, and get your garden ready for the cooler weather.

Hardy fall bulbs such as Daffodil, Tulip, Hyacinth, Crocus and Snowdrop are spring flowering plants that must be planted in the fall. They are mostly native to mountainous areas of Europe and the near east ñ Spain, Turkey and Afganistan. They actually need the dormant rest period of a long, cold winter. The melting snow and ice in early spring provide needed moisture as they start to grow and flower. Plant from September to December, even after the first frost if the ground can still be worked.

Looking to add some flare to your front porch this fall? A simple arrangement of corn stalks, straw bales, fall mums, a not-so-scary scarecrow and a pumpkin will do the trick! This can be a perfect photo-op for kids and can set the scene for the beginning of the fall season!

Foliage Plants are like adding a breath of fresh air to a room and in fact that is exactly what they do, increase the amount of oxygen in a room. They are also very attractive, decorative and functional, as well as being relatively easy to care for.
