Preparing For Fall

As I walked around the summer cottage this weekend I was sadden by the lack of color in the gardens which is a  result of the long hot summer days... The blue Hydrangea's are a mauve and brown...the black eye Susan's are crisp and black, long gone are the peony's....Flax's are at the end of their purple glory. 

It is time to revitalize your gardents' with some hardy mums, asters, colorful Kale's.... So cut back the Lilly's be careful with hydrangea's they are not fond of cuttings - pull out the annuals....rake up the mulch...add some fall color...
Harmonizing Homes is all about staging, design and presentation.  So have some fun, with the plantings...think about the spring by planting some flowering bulbs now. Have fun before the leaves start to drop!  Harmony!
