Autumn isn't all reds and oranges... These are one of my absolute favorite flowers in the garden, but I (and the bees) have to wait all summer for them to appear! #LoveLoveLove #Flora #AutumnGarden #Beautiful #FindOneBeautifulThing #HoneyBee (at Goshen, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjdqmiGO18L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Roadele toamnei, o mică parte. O parte esențială a toamnei este recolta. Presupune muncă și răbdare și mi se pare mai mult decât exercițiu fizic, o lecție de viață. Voi ce fructe/legume de toamnă preferați? Pentru mine, gutuile obțin locul I de ceva vreme, așa că mulțumesc @marcela.florea pentru aprovizionare. 🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾 #autumngarden #autumn #garden #gardening #flowers #autumnvibes #mygarden #gardenlife #gardendesign #nature #gardensofinstagram #gardeninspiration #gardenlove #autumnflowers #autumncolors #mygardentoday #gardens #autumnleaves #fall https://www.instagram.com/p/CjQuTrtsP9H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Fall Gardening Prep - Setting the Stage for a Spectacular Harvest
As summer draws to a close, it's time to gear up for a new season of gardening wonders. In this article, we'll explore essential tips and tasks for September to ensure a bountiful and thriving garden in the coming months. From prepping the soil to selecting the perfect fall crops, let's dive into the world of fall gardening!
Clearing Out Summer Debris: Bid farewell to summer by tidying up your garden beds. Remove spent annuals, trim back faded perennials, and clear away any debris that may have accumulated. Creating a clean slate sets the stage for your fall plants to shine.
Soil Enrichment and Composting: Before planting your fall crops, take the time to enrich the soil. Add well-rotted compost or organic matter to boost soil fertility and improve water retention. Healthy soil lays the foundation for healthy plants.
Fall Planting Guide: Explore a variety of cool-season vegetables and flowers suitable for September planting. From leafy greens like kale and spinach to colorful chrysanthemums, discover the diverse range of plants that thrive during this time.
Extending the Growing Season: As the days grow shorter, consider using row covers, cold frames, or cloches to protect tender crops from early frosts. These handy tools can extend your harvest and keep your garden producing well into fall.
Fall Lawn Care: Your lawn deserves some attention too! September is an ideal time for reseeding and fertilizing your lawn to ensure a lush, green carpet throughout the autumn.
Preparing for Bulb Planting: Get ready for a stunning spring display by planning and prepping for bulb planting. From tulips to daffodils, bulbs offer a burst of color when the snow melts away.
Complementing with Fall Annuals: Introduce vibrant fall annuals like pansies and ornamental cabbage to your garden beds and containers. These resilient beauties bring a pop of color to brighten up your landscape.
Pruning and Dividing: Evaluate your perennials and deciduous shrubs for pruning and dividing opportunities. Pruning promotes healthy growth, while dividing overcrowded plants rejuvenates them for the seasons ahead.
Mulching for Winter Protection: Layer on a protective blanket of mulch around perennials and young plants to safeguard them from harsh winter conditions. Mulching also helps retain soil moisture during cooler months.
A Time for Reflection: Take a moment to reflect on your gardening triumphs and challenges over the past months. Make notes in your garden journal to help plan for an even more successful gardening year ahead.
With these September gardening tasks in mind, you're well on your way to a thriving fall garden. Embrace the changing season, and watch as your garden transforms into a breathtaking tapestry of colors and flavors.

Temporary segway to now… A break from my recent Europe trip posts to post some from my garden this week at home in Shelton WA… Fall flowers from my autumn garden this week. Had to post these beautiful bouquets from my autumn garden while they are still fresh. It’s been a lovely autumn here in Shelton, WA overall thus far. It only started getting really rainy this past week and a half. While some rain is always a blessing, a downpour not so much from a flower’s point-of-view. Hence my garden flowers are quickly making their way inside. #dahlias #gladiolas #zinnias #asters #mums #snapdragons #flowerbouquet #autumngarden #autumnflowers #annasgardens #sheltonwashington #washingtonstate #floral_secrets #floral_perfection #floral_faffery #ig_flowers #flowers_mania__ #flowerstarz #eye4flowers #fallflowers #fallbouquet #heavenlyflowerz #rebels_united #rebel_flowers #jj_florals #jj_washington #loves_washington #bns_flowers #ig_captures_flowers #50shadesoforange (at Shelton, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkfDJ1puppn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Neben den beruflichen tollen Projekten ist die Natur und der Garten ein Quell der Freude und Inspiration. Allein, dass der Garten nach diesem dürstenden Sommer so spät noch diese Dahlien-Pracht hervorzaubert, ist für mich ein Wunder. #garden #gardeninspiration #gardenlove #gardenflowers #gardenlover #flowers #dahlia #dahliaseason #dahliaflower #autumngarden #fallgarden #fallgardening #autumngardening #flowerstagram #garten #gartenliebe #gartenideen #gartenglück #nature #naturelovers #naturegram (hier: Minden, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkD25AItrWZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you adore zucchini but lack a gardening area, think about growing zucchini in containers. Although zucchini plants can take up a lot of room, it's not as difficult as you might think to grow them in container gardens on your patio or balcony.

Pentru mine Halloween-ul nu este mai mult decât câțiva dovlecei, decorațiuni drăguțe, bucuria culorii crizantemelor și cam atât.
