Plant it All in the Fall

September 13, 2012 By Shannah Leave a Comment

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts Miracle-Gro for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

We’ve been doing a lot of work inside the house so our curb appeal has been slowly diminishing over the past month or so.  This is what greets you in my planters on the front porch.

Thankfully, fall is here which means it is the perfect time to replace the dying boxwood in our flower bed or amp up our curb appeal with some new flowers on the porch.  Fall gardening is also a great way for us to get a little mini-break from the basement work and Find beauty in the Fall by looking at plants.

I did some Pinterest searching and decided the best way to add some fall beauty to our house is a quick and simple planting of flowers in pots which are, then, put out on the front porch.  I’m a HUGE fan of mums so I think a pretty orangish-red  mum would be great {after all, it needs to match our Hokies wreath which is hanging proudly on the door}.  I don’t think I will go with anything this large but the color is spot on.

I might even add some other colors in too

My black thumb is pretty well known around here so I sought out some information on products to give me an extra advantage.  Our lawn guy recommended

Specifically, he said, for my flowers, I should use

The potting mix is ideal for potted plants like my flowers.  It has contious release plant food in it that will help keep my plants fed for up to 6 months.

First, I would have to remove the dead flowers (previously gorgeous geraniums during the spring and summer months}.  Then, I would fill my pot with planting soil about midway before placing my flowers on top of the soil.  Once the flowers are in place, I will just fill in the rest of the pot with planting soil and give it a good watering.

Then, if I find the time, I can always plant a new bush where our dying boxwood lives and use some

Do you plant in the fall?  What kind of products do you use to keep your plants healthy and thriving?
