Container Gardening All Year

| | No Comments

Can your containers go from summer into fall without too much trouble?

You might want to swap out annuals that look too tired for some flowering kale or a small pot of chrysanthemums. Tuck in some gourds or a mini pumpkin like heirloom gardener did.

Here is an idea for an autumn season container with a link to the summer and winter containers for a front porch. How creative!

For the container by my front door, I’ve just replaced the summer display of elephant ears with kale, American bittersweet vine, bronze carex, and a miniature gourd. This arrangement will last until the winter containers in December.

About Ilona Erwin

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.
