My dear gardening friends and enthusiasts:

The 2017 Fall Season is here and I must say that it came too fast. Some people love it more than others because it has its positive and negative side.

The Positive Side: The landscape changes weekly. The colors of trees turn from green to a mix of yellows, reds, gold, browns, which are simply amazing. The temperature outdoor allows you to use your decks and patios more often and the best part; the mosquitoes are GONE!
​
The Negative Side: Well, this is when you get the best work out for free. I will make a list of some of the chores that you will need to tackle to make your property look spectacular during the winter months:
  1. Clean your home gutters.
  2. Clean and put away all your deck or patio cushions.
  3. Clean and cover your deck furniture.
  4. Do the same with your BBQ grill. Clean it well in and out, and cover with a grill-BBQ cover for protection from the elements. You can always remove it if you decide to cook.
  5. If you don't feel like raking leaves, contract a lawn company to remove the fallen leaves from your property. If you remove the leave, you will thank yourself next Spring and you will also be able to enjoy the outdoor spaces during the Winter season.
  6. Bring your house plants back indoors, but first, inspect them for insects and use any type of natural repellent, (like water; use your hose to clear out mites, aphids and other insects.)
  7. Restore your lawn and fertilize it for the Winter or call your lawn maintenance company to do it for you.
  8. Plant the Spring-blooming bulbs that you may want to see flowering next year; like daffodils, tulips, crocus.
  9. Enjoy what is left of the trees in your garden and neighborhood before all the leaves are on the ground. How? Take photos.
  10. Finally, start thinking about what decorations you want to put in your front garden for Halloween and Thanksgiving to “WOW” people walking by your property during these two seasonal holidays.
And no, these are not all the chores that you need to do, but at least it will get you started, SMILE!
