If you are passionate about flowers, plant fall-colored plants into your planter. Fall is the best time to add color to your yard. Hanging baskets that are filled with succulents and annuals in vibrant colors can be a great option. Your planter will have a cozy and colorful feel because the tops of your plants will be visible through the window frame. Add a splash of color to your potter with radiant marigolds and yellow garden pansies.
To make a window box for fall plants, follow the same steps. You can fill the container with any number of fall-themed flowers. You can also add foliage, filler, or corn stalks to make a striking fall planter windowbox. You can often find ornamental grasses at bargain prices during fall. For added height, place taller ones towards the container's rear. Use branches or berries to give the container texture.
A hanging basket is bulky and can get heavy, so you may want to fill it with a small plastic bottle. Use a ceramic planter if you don’t have an empty hanging container. To make the purple veggies stand out, add ornamental cabbage or kale. Ornamental kale, cabbage, and other leafy greens are great choices. It is possible to also start a garden using a meadow-planter. Keep an eye out for perennial plants that are on clearance in the fall.
Plan your fall planter according to the season in which you will add color. A fall planter can be filled with anything, including mums, petunias, and marigolds. You can fill a planter with ornamental plants or tall grasses. Or, you can cover it with dried leaves and flowers. You can decorate your home in beautiful fall-themed containers, no matter the season. Don't be afraid to try new things!
The foliage in your planter will begin to wilt and fall when the temperature drops below freezing. To achieve the desired effect, you may need to add more plants. You will see results slower as the days are shorter and the nights become colder. It is possible to extend the season by using a fall gardener. You can ensure that your plants have a spot in your garden until the ground freezes.
Whether you are using a large container or a small container, fall container gardening is the perfect time to experiment with different colors, textures, and flowering plants. Mix perennials and annuals to create a variety of textures. Grouping containers can help you improve the appearance and look of an area, without having to replace your entire container garden. This is particularly useful for fall plants that are starting to fade. You can just move them to another container.

2023 Planting calendar: When to plant vegetables
The ideal time to plant vegetables in the soil is between 50degF - 70degF. The plants can become stressed if you wait too long and may produce smaller yields.
It takes approximately four weeks for seeds to germinate. Six hours of direct sunlight is required each day for seedlings to emerge once they have emerged. In addition, the leaves should receive five inches of water per week.
Vegetable crops grow best during the summer months. There are some exceptions. For example, tomatoes do well throughout the year.
Your plants will need protection from frost if your climate is cold. You can cover the plants with straw bales, plastic mulch, or row cover fabric.
You can also buy heat mats that keep the ground warm. These mats are laid under the plants, and then covered with soil.
A weeding tool, or hoe, can be used to control weeds. The best way to eliminate weeds is by cutting at their base.
For healthy root systems, compost can be added to the planting hole. Compost is a good way to retain water and provide nutrients.
The soil should be kept moist, but not saturated. Water deeply once a day.
Soak the roots in water until they are completely hydrated. Then let any excess water drain to the ground.
Don't overwater. Overwatering encourages disease and fungus growth.
Fertilize no earlier than the season begins. Fertilizing too soon can lead to stunting and poor fruit production. Wait until the plants start to produce flowers.
Removing any damaged crops after harvest is a good idea. Too soon harvesting can lead to rotting.
Harvest the fruit when they are fully ripe. The stems can be removed and the fruits stored in a cool location.
