| Fall In Ontario
|
 This picture was taken at my work in Ontario Canada. Fall is such a pretty time of year with the changing colours. I can not identify the bush, but thought you would like to see one of my favorite photos.

| The Harbingers Of Spring
|
|
By Ellen Brown
|
 No matter where you live, spring is fickle. Around here, it arrives unexpectedly-usually in mid March. Winter temporarily loosens its grip, the sun sends temperatures soaring into the 50s, ice and snow give way to the sound of running water, and the thick, fresh smell of hummus hangs in the air as the soil begins to thaw.

| No Gardening Yet in Maine!
|
 My gardening tip for Northern Maine is to wait a few more weeks until the snow is gone.

| Uses for Raspberry Branches
|
|
Pretty soon it will be time to clean up what Old Man Winter left behind. I have raspberries and, come every spring, winter has left me broken branches, I'm sure the birds also help in the process.

| Protect Delicate Plants With Sand
|
|
Some plants in your area will be a tender perennial which means they may or may not make it through a severe cold snap, or you may have plants you want to protect from the cold. To protect such plants better, when weather gets cooler in the fall time of year, put a mound of builders sand or other sand around the plant.

| Use Your Leaves As Winter Mulch
|
|
With winter fast approaching, we need to concentrate on protecting our treasured flower gardens. In a pinch, if I don't have adequate mulch to use on every flower bed, I have my son rake the leaves that fell during fall into a big pile. I take most of my hanging pots and place them in bare spots in the flower beds.

| Using Leaves For Mulching Tender Perennials
|
|
My husband and I have a lot of flower gardens in the summer. I have around 250 day lilies that I have collected, and am still collecting more. As the leaves are falling, we take a leaf blower and pick them up, which chops them. Then, since they are light, we use these as mulch around our day lilies and other plants to winterize them.

| Indoor Lighted Greenhouse For Winter Months
|
|
When the winter months enable us to do our gardening outside, I decided to bring much of my garden inside. We cleaned out under our basement steps. Insulated the outside walls.Then many small florescent lights up.We staggered the size of the new shelves, lining the bottoms with heavy duty foil.

| Preparing Perennials For Fall
|
|
I now live where my perennials do well all winter and do not need much special preparation in the fall. When I lived in a colder clime, I found that they would come back the next spring if I took certain steps. I always made sure the flowers were removed before the first frost.
