Happy Fall!

It's official, today is the first day of Autumn! Here's to crisp weather and colorful mums.

Autumn?!

I just can't believe that September is half over already! I just looked at the calendar - did you know that Autumn begins next Tuesday? Where did the summer go? One day I'm looking outside our greenhouse window at an array of summery annuals and all of a sudden they've been replaced by mums and pansies. Oh, and did I mention that we also just got in pumpkins, gourds and indian corn? It just amazes me how quickly time can pass and sometimes it seems that we take each season for granted - as if it will be around forever...

There's a chill in the air...

...reminding us that although it doesn't officially arrive until the 22nd of this month, autumn is definitely on it's way. I know it's hard to say goodbye to the beloved blooms of summer, but instead of lamenting think of all that is available now! Ornamental peppers, cold weather pansies, kale, and of course mums can now adorn your garden (or containers) and add that pop of color to your yard. So throw on something cozy and warm and welcome in the fall!
