Do It Yourself - Water Hose Blog

There's nothing like the fresh fall air to get my blood pumping. I can just taste seasonally fresh apple crisp, squash soup and pumpkin pie, made in part from produce grown in my garden. In the midst of all the feasting, though, I need to nurture my outdoor plant beds and give them a bit of attention as the summer growing season wraps up and fall planting begins. With a little bit of effort, my outdoor beds will be ready in no time for broccoli, cabbage, onions and other delectable produce.

Does the cold, dreary fall and winter weather get you down? Add more vegetables to your diet. Not only are they loaded with nutrients that give you energy and optimize your health, but I've found that playing in the dirt reduces stress and makes me feel happy. You can stay positive and perky too despite the cooler weather when you grow a variety of vegetables this fall and winter.
