The fall season is approaching fast and this may be a good time to start thinking about your fall gardening. There are lots of things that you can do now that will save you time later in the season. For example, you can start replacing those summer annual plants in window boxes and containers with some fall plants.
If you do get rid of the annual plants, don’t throw away the soil. That soil is still good so just toss it in a flower bed, border or even perennial plants. For your fall plants, be sure to use fresh soil and do follow the instructions given when you purchase your plants. If you want to still keep your annuals for a while, you can get an additional container and fill it up with fall plants. This way, you will have beautiful fall flowers while the annuals are slowly dying out.
Another idea is to keep the container with annuals and as they die out, replace them with fall plants in the same container so that by the time your annuals are all gone, you will have constant color around your garden. Or, if you want to leave things as they are, start a new container with fall plants and keep it in a separate location until you are ready to place it in your desired location.
No idea what you want to do about your fall plants? Start by thinking about the colors and styles you want. Go to your local nursery or any garden center and start looking at the various choices they offer. Do speak with a salesperson and discuss where you want to place the fall plants, the colors that you have in mind, and ask for more suggestions.
Months go by quickly so don’t delay and get going with your fall gardening ideas. Whatever you decide, the time to start is now so that by the time to cooler weather gets here, you will have beautiful fall color around your garden.
To your lovely fall garden,
Diana

Every gardener needs gardening tools. These can range from simple pruning shears to very large gardening equipment depending on the size of your garden. For the purpose of this article, we will just discuss simple every day garden hand tools that you will need to keep your garden looking beautiful all the time.
The first thing that needs to be done is to determine what tools you need to accomplish your simple gardening tasks. If you are starting from scratch in creating your garden, you need to get a tiller to tilt and turn the soil in preparation for your plantings. Tillers come in different sizes and price range so if you have a small garden, get a small and reasonably priced one.
Take your time and carefully choose the gardening tools you need. Believe me you could save some money buy doing this. It is important for you to select not only the garden tools that you need, but also the tools that you feel comfortable using. Feeling comfortable using your tools should help you get your gardening jobs done quickly and with lots of enjoyment.
Here are some of the garden tools that I bought when I started gardening and still use to the day. Your gardening needs may be different than mine, but hopefully, these will give you ideas and help you determine what tools you need.
• Gardening gloves – this should be the first item on your list.
• Tiller – before you plant anything, you need to turn the soil.
• Hoe – use it for weeding and cultivating the surface of the soil to allow penetration of nutrients and water.
• Watering can – select watering can that has a detachable spray head which is perfect for watering young seedlings or small plants.
• Shovel – useful for large digging projects such as planting shrubs and trees.
• Rake – useful for leveling the soil after it has been turned and prior to planting.
• Garden shears – are used for pruning, shaping and removing foliage or branches from your plants.
• Tanged hand fork – use it for digging out difficult weeds.
• Trowel – very useful when planting small beds and you need to dig small holes in the soil.
It does not matter if your garden is large or small you still need some gardening tools. Always remove the soil from your digging tools after you are done using it. Once again, you don’t have to spend a fortune buying garden tools. Just figure out what tasks you want to do around your garden and buy the tools needed. If in doubt, visit your local Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, or any other store that carries gardening supplies and tell them what you want done and they will tell you what you need.
To your gardening success,
Diana
