GARDENING TIP:
- Late September to early December is the prime times to purchase and plant fall bulbs for spring flowering color. Popular fall bulb varieties include tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and crocus. Timing is important for bulbs to have enough time to produce a good strong root system before spring.
- Plant trees and shrubs, and be sure to keep them well watered.
- Plant cool season annuals such as mums, asters, petunias, dianthus, petunias, snapdragons and pansies.
- Prune rose bushes back by one third to encourage maximum flowering.
- Mow grass at the highest level.
- Fall is a great time to visit local gardens such as the Botanical Gardens and the Japanese Tea Garden for gardening ideas and to enjoy the array of beautiful plants.
- Decorate your porch with pumpkins. Look for ones that are firm, unblemished and have their stems still attached.

There are 2 large pots of hibiscus welcoming visitors on the front porch. Notice the low maintenance landscaping plants: Mexican petunias, nandinas, plumbago and crepe myrtles.
Thank you Iva for also inviting us to view your park like setting backyard…as your husband called it, “Heaven on Earth!”
It is so nice to see our residents take pride in their yards.
