Fall Containers

While storing garden items I came across three wooden Halloween ground stakes and decided to stick them in the plants out front.
 I had forgotten that I had this cute ghost
 and two pumpkins

With hardly any effort at all, they gave my container plantings the seasonal change they needed. I did remove the sweet potato vines in the two flanking the garage. The cold weather from last week did them in. This is all the fall decorating I plan to do outside.

I still have not planted a single fall bulb. I will probably regret that next spring.

  1. Your 'fall planters' are looking good! It's okay Zoey to skip some of that busy garden work. I have learned to let go..a lot:)

  2. Well there you go, instant Halloween decorations! lol Love those stakes, they're so adorable. I usually only put out decorations outside a couple of days before Halloween but this year I'll be gone to Corey & Kristin's place that weekend to help her find a wedding dress and I'll only be coming home on Halloween Day itself!! Sooo, might just have a pumpkin as my decor outside! lol

    In the last two days I've been washing and putting away all my garden ornaments and also clearing out my flowerbeds. I also moved a bunch of plants. Now I'm sore all over! lol Tomorrow I need to put away all the patio furniture. At least I'm getting my exercise!! :-) xoxo

  8. I had full intentions of getting up the fall stuff before vacation.....I think you just gave me the ideas I need to do the job in the few days I'll have between getting home and the grandson coming up for a visit. What a cute idea!

  10. Yes,I agree! The planters now look very autumn-like! Did you store the sweet potato vines, or did you just pitch them? Some friends of mine pull out the tubers and store them like dahlias. I say I will do that every year, but never do!
    Still plenty of time to plant bulbs yet, don'tcha think, Zoey??!
