| Leaves are Free Fertilizer
|
 Leaves are a type of free fertilizer, and yet we pay our cities to haul our free fertilizer away every fall, and then buy unnatural, non-organic chemicals, or organic fertilizers in the spring to replenish our lawns.

| Preserve Leaves With Hair Spray
|
 You can preserve colorful autumn leaves easily by spraying them on both sides with heavy duty hair spray! I did that, put them on twigs with wire - added nuts and other pods.

| Invest in the Proper Snow Removal Equipment
|
 Grandma J here in MN. Got our share of the white stuff (snow) this winter, more coming. Considering we should prepare in October, it takes the first snow storm for us to do this.

| Preparing For The First Frost
|
 For gardeners in most zones, the end of the growing season is signaled by the onset of the first frost. No matter when it arrives, it always seems painfully early.

| Cover Garden At Night To Protect Against Early Frost
|
|
When it's time for frost to hit and we still have veggies that are still producing, we drape sheets or blankets over the veggies before dark. Then when we get up in the morning before the sun is fully out, we take the sheets or blankets off.

 Coleus leaves come in a variety of striking colours and go very well with colourful annuals.

| Scenery: Snow Scene

 We recently had a mid-April freak snowstorm and it covered EVERYTHING and I got some pictures early in the morning before the sun melted it. They turned out pretty cool!

| Baby Animals Are a Sign of Spring
|
 Spring in the country wouldn't be half as much fun if it weren't for all the beautiful baby animals you see. These are right outside our front door across the road so a really wonderful sight any time of day.

| Removing Gravel From Your Lawn Edge
|
|
Getting the stones and gravel out of the edge of your lawn which were dumped by highway trucks for ice and snow is a tedious job. I found that using a shop vac is much easier and faster and does a very nice job.
