FALL GARDENING | PATIO TOUR | GARDEN WITH ME!!

🌱 Melody loves gardening and it's one of her favorite hobbies alongside farmhouse decorating.

🌼 She has a vintage door with a flower basket where she plans to plant fall flowers, and a vintage wheelbarrow from La Junction, which was a great deal at $40.

🪴 Good soil is crucial, and she recommends Kellogg's brand for affordability and variety, using their raised bed potting mix for container plants and their specific garden soil for in-ground plants.

🌱 Starter fertilizers, like the Espoma Organic brand, are key to helping roots establish and plants thrive longer with a slow release of nutrients.

🌿 Feeding plants weekly with a water-soluble fertilizer, such as Proven Winners, is vital for continuous blooming, especially during stressful heatwaves.

🛒 Shopping at local nurseries ensures fresh, high-quality plants; the plants are grown locally and are well-suited for the local climate.

🌺 For her patio's vintage door, she planted with a "thriller, filler, and spiller" approach, using a variety of plants that suit full sun and well-drained soil.

🌼 Her wheelbarrow garden contains mums as the main attraction, with a focus on colors like orange, yellow, and red to create a fall aesthetic.

🌹 Melody prefers to garden with a consistent color palette and adds interest to her cottage garden with vintage items like a baby headboard trellis.

🏡 Her patio is decorated with antiques and a color scheme of blues, reds, and pops of orange, blending farmhouse charm with a relaxing outdoor ambiance.
