Fall Gardens at Home

July 30, 2010

There is something about being outdoors and enjoying nature late in the summer and early into fall. It is warm and peaceful, and definitely one of our favorite times of the year. Although many people begin new home gardens in the spring, it is never to late to learn to plant and grow seeds for every season! Why not start your own fall garden? Growing healthy, organic vegetables and plants for you and your family will be a fulfilling experience. Make it your own ‘me’ time in your backyard, or involve the entire family! There are so many tasty greens to grow, like lettuce to turnips, to squash and broccoli!

Between August and and November you can plant seeds determining on their best growing months to bring you and yours the tastiest and healthiest vegetables around! We found this great site, www.MotherEarthNews.com to help you learn the best germination conditions for your garden!

Liven up your home with a beautiful orchid!

Decorating your home with orchids is an inexpensive way to bring colour to these winter days. Find a great pot that will be able to fit the original plastic pot you purchased the orchid in, add some moss to the top of the soil, and place your flower near a window. It is important these flowers are not in direct sunlight, but have light available to them, and are watered once a week.
