A Fall Floral Treat
Amazingly, autumn has already arrived with yesterday the official first day of fall! The summer garden is now in its final phases and I am clearing out debris of a successful vegetable harvest.
Creating a Fall Garden Floral
Our fall garden is beginning to bloom at last as we welcome October with cool weather and raindrops. It is a beautiful time of year to design arrangements from the garden, and creating a fall floral using homegrown flowers mixed with a market bouquet is an easy way to enjoy the garden indoors.
Garden Flowers for Fall
As you can see, our first harvest of pomegranates is off of the tree- a sure sign that fall is here to stay! Here in California, we have a late autumn so our trees are just beginning to change color from the cooler nights and beautiful temperate days.
Maple Sugar Misto
One of the true pleasures of autumn is waking up to cool crisp morning air and spending time in the garden. For me, morning starts with coffee, and lately I've been enjoying this simple recipe filled with robust fall flavors while planning the flower gardens.
Creating a Mix-and-Match Thanksgiving Table
The holidays are coming fast and designing a seasonal table for Thanksgiving is always one of my favorite traditions. This year I created a harvest table to use throughout the fall as well as on Thanksgiving.
The Colors of November
The glorious fall trees have colored my world in beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow just in time for Thanksgiving. We have a late autumn here in California but when it finally arrives it is spectacular!
