As summer reaches it’s peak, now is the time to start thinking about fixing up the garden at the end of the season. The fact is, most gardens look a bit tired by the time September rolls around. If you plan ahead, you can be prepared with one of these top annual flowers for fall, and brighten up your garden space. There is still a lot of growing season left after the kids go back to school, so don’t neglect what can be the nicest time of year to be outdoors! Keep in mind, if you want your fall annuals to bloom and fill in for fall, late summer is the time to get them in the ground. So let’s take a look at fall annuals, and fix that garden! Our first couple of easy fall annuals are seeded, so you definitely need to think ahead. However, because they are from seed, it couldn’t be easier! Just make sure they are getting regular water, as you will be planting them in the heat of the summer so they will be ready for fall bloom. Plan to scatter these seeds 4-6 weeks before you want flowers… my bet would be late July into the middle of August. Alyssum – Alyssum is one of the easiest flowers to grow, by seed or otherwise. Once you plant it, you will always have it in the garden, because it self seeds prolifically. A low growing plant, it flowers white, pink or purple from spring through fall. If you planted this in the spring, it has likely gotten rangy and stopped blooming. You can try cutting it back by half and giving it a dose of liquid fertilizer. However, the seed is so cheap and easy, I would just plant fresh ones for fall. Simply sprinkle the seed along walkways and borders and water in… You should see plants in a few days, and flowers in less than 4 weeks, with them growing larger and flowering more as the season moves on. Will flower until hard frost.
  Sunflowers – Sunflowers are another simple seed plant, and they will bloom well into fall. Plant the seed just under the soil and water, 6 weeks before the start of fall, then plant more every 2 weeks until late August. Remember, the flower head will face the sun, so don’t plant them where the flower head will always face away from where you view them.
  Nasturtiums – Nasturtiums are a good choice for areas that have cool falls… I like to soak the seeds in water overnight, then plant 1/4 inch below the soil. Plant out 6 weeks before fall bloom. Will bloom until frost. Try not to water late at night, because they can be prone to powdery mildew when the weather cools. They can grow as a short vine or trailer, or they have more compact varieties for bedding. Be sure to read the seed packet.
Morning Glory and Moonflower – Both these are vines, and their names say it all. Morning glories love cooler weather and bloom in the early part of the day, so nick the seed and soak them overnight in water, then plant 1/2 under the soil 6 weeks before bloom is wanted. Moonflowers bloom at the end of the day with gorgeous white flowers. These are great to carry over a rose arbor or other summer blooming vine. They are annuals, so they won’t hurt the existing vine, and they will die back after frost. Keep in mind, both these plants are poisonous if eaten.
  The next fall annuals do not grow well from seed, so they need to be nursery bought. That does mean you are at the mercy of the nursery. But most nurseries order their plants early, so your plants can get established in the garden before bloom. Do remember to mulch and water well if you are still having a lot of summer heat. I plant my fall annual starts 4 weeks before I want bloom. Pansies and Violas – These are old fashioned favs, and many self seed to ensure you have these happy blooms next spring and fall as well! In many different colors, they don’t spread too far in the fall, so plant them close. Give them liquid fertilizer every two weeks, and water them well, especially when hot out. Many will bloom through frost and up until the holidays! Containers or garden beds. Love!

  Mums – Mums are the standby, and although they are technically perennials, in many areas they are grown as annuals, and priced as such. Plant from quart or gallon pots for an immediate show, but even the 4 inch pots will bloom well. Plant them 4 weeks before bloom, and cut back the flowers that are on the plant when you bought them. I know this is painful, but it will ensure new and healthy blooms when fall arrives in all it’s glory! Liquid fertilizer every two weeks will give you a great show. I like to choose one color for the whole garden to give it a fresh look. Using just one color unites the garden with a larger plant like this, some can grow to over two feet wide and high. Love sun!
  Snapdragons – Snapdragons are another cool weather plant, so if you plant them in late summer to encourage fall bloom, treat them just like mums, with one exception. If you can protect them from afternoon sun in a warm climate, you will have more success. Ornamental Greens – Add color to the fall garden with something more than flowers… Ornamental greens love the cooler weather of fall, plant from seed 6 weeks before, or from starts 4 weeks before fall bloom. Chard, lettuce and greens, and Kale are all great choices. You can even harvest them for fall meals!
  Ornamental Grasses – Grasses tend to go on clearance this time of year, and many of them are perennials but at these prices, can be treated as annuals. You won’t get a lot of growth from them this late in the year, but they can add texture to a garden that has some gaps from summer annuals pooping out.
Easy, right? Planning ahead can ensure you fall garden is, amazing, not tired.

We know lots of couples who host outdoor movie/wine tasting parties that don’t include the little ones. Ready to roll? Don’t miss all the great tips these bloggers post on their tutorial pages as well. Our featured project, above,  Pottery Barn has gotten in the “picture” with a simple version of a backyard movie screen. Simple and quick tutorial. Cozy!

The holidays are finally here, and what better way to greet your holiday guests than with a creative holiday front porch display? Even if you don’t have much time to decorate for the holidays indoors, you can use these quick and inexpensive ideas to add a personal touch to the front porch in a flash! Door Candy I love to hang a holiday wreath each year, but since its the first point visitors see of my home, I try to make it special. Easy ways to add a creative touch to your holiday doorway, without breaking the budget? Hang an old picture frame painted in your holiday color scheme instead of a wreath. Inside the frame hang a cool element that reflects your personality. Ideas? Ice skates, colorful shatterproof ornaments, mittens, wooden letters representing your last name, toy car or train, a bunch of holly tied with ribbon…the possibilities are endless. See how they did this one – from A vegas Girl At Heart.
  Create a nature wreath with a wreath base, a glue gun, and mosses, pine cones and a little bit of sparkle. Make it simple and modern, or ornate and traditional. Top it off by tying a large Christmas ribbon off center at the top. Tip: A wreath base can be anything from a store bought wreath, to a piece of old plywood, all the way down to sturdy cardboard. Make sure your wreath has some protection for t he weather.
Check out the tutorial for this super easy wreath from The Creek Line House.
  Instead of a wreath this year, how about creating cute holiday signs to hang on the front door? All is takes is a blank wooden template from the craft store, or even a scrap piece of wood. The more age, the better. Use stencils or stamps, and welcome Santa (and everyone else!) with style! Some catchy phrases for your sign? Keep it simple and use “Believe”, “Joy”, or “Let It Snow”. Be cute with “Santa, Define Good…” or “Baby It’s Cold Outside”, or choose something more spiritual to reflect your family.
  Here’s the tutorial for this sign from our friends at Love Of Family And Home.
  Pot up Some Holiday Create an easy holiday planter or flower pot for your front porch decorating. Think in layers, like a cake. Make a base inside your container with stones or rock to secure your arrangement. Now using evergreen branches, “plant” them in the pot. Leave a clear spot in the center of the container to pile shatterproof ball ornaments. (This is the “cake” filling). I use a glue gun to secure them to each other to make them more stable. Now add some long bare branches into the arrangement for height and texture. Tie on a ribbon if you like. Easy, fast, stylish and best of all, you can collect most of the items for the planter in your yard or neighborhood! Kim at ‘Kim Power Style‘ made this charming little Christmas bucket using battery operated lights & large pine cones. Love those birch logs! Wrap up some empty cardboard boxes like gifts, and pile them by the front door, on a bench, or in an entry. Pick up the gift wrap and the ribbon at the dollar shop, and it’s a frugal way to make fun and festive holiday impact! Or go all out and create these amazing DIY outdoor lighted gift boxes! DIY Vintage Chic tells you how to do it.
  Use craft foam and scissors to cut out stars or another holiday shape, and attach like wall paper to your front door or entry. Poster putty is a great temporary adhesive that doesn’t not leave any damage or marks on your door or siding. Watch Your Step! Finally don’t forget your front door mat. After all, this time of year, it gets a lot of use, and a lot of attention. Use craft paints and inexpensive mats from the home improvement store to make a custom door entry perfect for your family. You can stencil directly on them with a stiff brush, or use a pre-made stamp. Snowflakes, anyone? We love this one from the Lisa Leonard Blog. Here’s the tutorial.
Use these creative ways to decorate your front porch for the holidays, and share your love of this season with your neighbors, friends and family!

As a gardener, I love to get holiday gifts that reflect my love of, well… gardens! In fact, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love to get a living gift during the holiday season.

We have some great ideas for how to take some simple plant material and turn it into a thoughtful, one of a kind gift, that keeps on giving. Our feature project above, is a simple burlap paperwhite pot from ‘Maya Made’… So easy, but the burlap pot wrap puts in that extra touch! Another paperwhite project from ‘Domaphile’, these paperwhites in mason jars would make such cute hostess gifts!

  More DIY rosemary topiaries from ‘City Farmhouse’…
  From ‘Lolly Jane’, we love these chalk paint DIY succulent pots… You could do these in white, and wrap with a blue or silver Christmas ribbon.
  If you want a unique gift, learn how to make these succulent Christmas trees, just like this one from ‘Canvas and Canopies‘… Here is a step by step video from ‘Urban Dirt’ on making succulent trees…
  Here is an easy idea… pot up small transplants of aromatic herbs in recycled cans, then wrap with wide burlap ribbon in holiday style… From ‘Celebrate Magazine‘.
  From ‘Gardenista‘, another easy way to take a simple plant gift, and dress up the delivery… And you probably already have all the supplies!
  Lastly, another wrap idea, from ‘Segreto‘…

I think one of the most important places to decorate for the fall just might be your front porch.

Who doesn’t get a little warm and fuzzy when they catch sight of a homey fall decor display? It can be tough to learn how to create those little vignettes on your porch or in your garden, but we found some inspiration. Use the fall harvest to blend the outdoors with your welcoming home, with these fall front door decor ideas! We love KariAnne at ‘Thistlewood Farms‘… (Don’t you just LOVE the name?) Above and below, we are sharing her amazing fall farmhouse door display… she has such the touch! Two things jumped out at me… she used only one color of mums in the pots… she already has so many colors in the swag over the door, keeping that simple was genius… also, I love the metal orbs. A little touch of metal always grounds any decor. Love this!
  Another amazing fall door display, ‘Between Naps on the Porch’ also shares this tutorial on making these amazing pumpkin topiaries! Very cool project!
  Robin at ‘All Things Heart and Home‘ shows s how, and why she does these cool fall vignettes. Several versions on her post, check it out! Such a gorgeous door!
  If you haven’t visited ‘Vintage Home Love‘ yet, go now and check out their amazing fall porch ideas. While you are there, visit her kitchen photos… I love that kitchen! If you love cottage or vintage style, there will be things you love at this blog… Oh, and her dining table project, and the chalkboard dining room walls, and….
  ‘The Wood Grain Cottage‘s’ fall porch ideas come complete with a full tutorial for making that incredible welcome sign…
  ‘Itsy Bits and Pieces‘ created this front entry for fall from things most of us have, or can daily find at the thrift store… Pretty, charming and easy…
  And here are some Pinterest pins we found to further wet your creative appetite for fall!
  From Ashley Miller on Pinterest…
