Fall gardening tips… You know how much I love the outdoors. I'm still learning my way around the garden, but with the help of some smart garden tech, and my amazingly smart Master Gardner mother, my outdoor space is starting to look pretty darn good. Here in the Pacific Northwest, our weather is already getting colder, {temps at night are down into the 50's already} – but I found some fun Fall gardening tips that are helping me come up with some new ideas to keep my garden growing into the colder weather. Check out Find beauty in the Fall to get inspiration that's perfect for your part of the country too. Let me share a couple fun ideas that I'm working on to boost my fall garden, and the inspiration behind them….

Building a Pretty Garden Storage Shed
I just adore everything about this pretty garden shed – and can't wait to use some of these awesome ideas to upgrade my own storage for fall. Right now, I've got a small greenhouse, and a little covered spot to store gear right near-by. Here are a few of my fave ideas, that I'll be putting into action to make my own space more useful:
- Pegboards: Oh, how I love pegboards! I have them on the inside or closet doors, in my craft cubby, and in one of my bathroom cupboards. But for some reason, I'd never thought to use them out in my greenhouse! This would be perfect for hanging all of my tools. So simple, so smart.
- Paint: I really like the idea of using paint to section off portions of the pegboard, and make it look more organized. I also am in love with the use of so much bright bold color all through such a small space! I'm thinking I may go with some bright yellow with accessories in gray.
- Rolling Bins: These are super smart! I could totally use these to hold all of my Fall plant and feed bags, making it so much easier to pull them out for easy access {versus leaning into a dark cupboard to get what I need} – and I have a perfect spot that would be a great fit for this.
I also love that you can see that the garden lover behind this storage spot is a lover of one of my own very favorite garden superheros – Miracle-Gro. I've told you guys about them before – how they're a perfect product for frugal gardners. They've got so many products to choose from, and they are so helpful in creating better soil, helping your plants grow bigger and stronger – which means you don't waste money on plantings that don't survive the season. I seriously couldn't do what I do in my garden without their products.
Unexpected Planters Bring Whimsy to your Fall Garden
How fun is this? Since most of my summer flower beds have been trimmed down now, after the last of my blooms have faded away – A quirky display of planters like this would bring a great pop of color to my garden! To make these, you'd just find a few old boots at yard sales, second hand shops – or even your own old & outgrown gear. Fill them with Miracle-Gro Flower & Vegetable Garden Soil, add a few pretty fall flowers, and hang anywhere you want to add some color. Guaranteed to make you smile each morning!
