Planting Isnt Just For the Spring

If you were wondering, planting is not just a spring/summer activity. You can plant almost anything in the fall. Specifically, there are six plant types that can be put in the ground in the fall. This includes Turfgrass, spring-blooming bulbs, cool season vegetables, perennials, trees, and shrubs. These all can be planted in the fall without a negative impact on your blooming seasons.

Did You Know:

• In the Fall, the cooler temperatures are easier on both plants and gardeners. The soil is still warm which allows the roots to grow until the ground freezes in the winter. 
• In the Fall, most gardening centers are trying to get rid of their inventories and are selling their last for very discounted prices.

The Love of The Flea Market

 

I absolutely love coming to the flea market. It has such a variety of foods and goods that I just get overwhelmed!!. If you have or haven't been to a flea market, take some time out of this weekend to enjoy what your city or country has to offer. They typically run from Friday to Sunday and some are open during the week. In any case, there are a few pictures from this weekend. Enjoy and have a nice day!
