GARDENING TIPS FOR FALL

arm weather, continued care and robust plants have yielded a bounty of beautiful, fresh vegetables (and personal satisfaction) from your garden this season. As the weather cools and fall approaches, this does not mean it’s time to hang up your hat, gloves and trowel for the year. Autumn provides optimum weather and ample opportunity to keep growing and harvesting delicious, healthy produce well into the season.

Some gardeners assume that when fall arrives and kids return to school, they’ll have less time to garden, and may experience less success from their garden plots. But cooler temperatures and fall conditions can actually make gardening easier and more enjoyable.

Many of fall’s best-producing vegetables are also colourful, making them great additions to flower beds and containers.

If you loved summer gardening, you can keep your garden growing right through fall.

Here’s how to make the most of fall season gardening: SIZE UP THE SOIL Most vegetable plants require full sun for six or more hours a day, and because fall provides a bit less sunlight than summer, you may need to relocate your plot to make the most of shorter days. If moving your garden isn’t an option, you can still take full advantage of sunshine by planting veggies in containers or by creating a raised bed in a sunny spot.

If you’ll be reusing your summer garden plot, remove any leftover debris. Don’t forget to pull up weeds before they go to seed. Fluff any compacted soil with a garden fork. Next, test the soil to see if any amendments are needed. Even if your soil is in good shape, adding a 2-inch layer of bagged compost or a balanced, natural fertilizer can give plants a boost.

Be prepared for frost. Keep materials on hand to protect plants when frost threatens, such as floating row cover, a cold frame or a cloche. On frosty, cold nights, move container plants to a protected spot. Keep up on the news for weather developments or check online, so you will know when the frost might hit.

PICK YOUR PLANTS While crops like strawberries and tomatoes have faded to sweet summer memories, many plants thrive in fall.

To ensure a successful harvest, it’s important to pick the right plants and give yourself a jump start by using transplants, rather than starting off with seeds. Planting six-week-old transplants ensures you’ll have the best opportunity to take advantage of fall’s shorter season, and you’ll harvest sooner than if you plant from seed.

Garden retailers will have transplants intended to grow well during the specific growing season and are suited for your geographic region. Seasonally appropriate transplants ensure you’ll have greater success in your garden.

An added bonus of fall planting is that many cool crops are also packed with nutrition and are among the healthiest vegetables you can eat. » thehomenews.ca

gardening

Choose hardy crops that can withstand light frost and temperatures as low as 0°C. Hardy favourites for fall include:

Broccoli

This versatile veggie is packed with vitamins K, C and A, and is a good source of folate.

Grilled Leeks with Feta,Cherry Tomatoes and Balsamic Vinaigrette

Cabbage

A staple of Oktoberfest celebrations across the country, cabbage comes in several varieties, all of which are high in beta-carotene, vitamins C and K and fiber.

Kale

Some varieties of kale, like Winterbor Kale, actually taste better when kissed by frost. A prolific producer, kale thrives in fall gardens and is a good source of vitamins A, C, K and B6, as well as manganese.

Leeks

Prized by gourmets for their milder flavour, this member of the onion family is frost-tolerant in all but the coldest planting zones. The health benefits of all onions are well documented, and leeks also add a pop of bright colour to culinary dishes.

Spinach

This nutrient-rich green does as well in fall’s cooler temperatures as it does in summer heat. Spinach will continue to produce throughout the season, providing a tasty source of vitamins A, C, K and E, as well as the minerals iron, potassium and magnesium.

The end of summer doesn’t have to herald the end of your garden harvest and enjoyment, or a return to the grocery store produce aisle. With the right fall crops, you can achieve a satisfying, healthful harvest throughout the fall. THN Courtesy of BPT

Home, Happy & Studying:

Creating a

Kid-Friendly Space W

ould a great study space ease your child's transition from summer to school? Perhaps an awesome lounge area could convince your teens - and all their friends - that your house is the best hangout spot ever. Whatever your objectives, a few design and decorating tricks can help you create a kid-friendly space in your home.

The basics of good design that make grown-up spaces appealing also work for children's spaces. When designing a kid-friendly room however, it's important to keep in mind not only the purpose of the room (study, fun, sleep, etc.) but the age of the occupant, his or her interests as well as incorporating fun into the design.

Here are some tips to get you started: 18

thehomenews.ca

Consider \creating a theme.

Kids of all ages love themes. To decide which one might be right for your project, consider things your child has shown an enduring interest in.

For example, she may be into princesses right now and hate the theme next year. On the other hand, if she's always loved the colour pink and has a passion for animals, those elements could be worked into a theme that she'll appreciate for years to come.

home dĂŠcor

Choose flooring that fulfills multiple needs.

Carpeting absorbs sound (for when kids play loud video games or music) and is comfortable for youngsters who like to sit or lie on the floor while they do homework, read, watch TV or socialize. What's more, it's available in virtually every hue and pattern imaginable, ensuring you'll find something that appeals to both your design sense and your child's tastes. Stain-resistant formulas and durable fibers ensure modern carpeting can stand up to the rigors of use in a child's room. And, according to the Carpet & Rug Institute, properly cleaned carpet can maintain indoor air quality, making it a viable choice for families impacted by asthma and allergies.

A child's space needs lighting.

As you're choosing lighting, keep in mind how your child will use the room. If he will be doing homework, task lighting and desk lights will illuminate study areas. Will the room be a movie room or a "hangout" for older teens? Recessed and dimmable lighting may be appropriate. Don't forget to include natural light in your illumination plans. Avoid heavy drapery. Instead, opt for bright colours and lightweight materials for window treatments so windows admit ample light. If you have a larger budget, consider adding a skylight to provide light while preserving privacy.

Organization is key in a child's room.

Depending on the size of the room and how it will be used, shelving, portable cubes, book cases and other furnishings can provide plenty of storage space. For desks, look for desktop organizers that will keep important papers and supplies tidy and close at hand.

By helping kids stay organized now, you'll be laying the foundation for a lifetime of good organizational skills.

Remember the fun factor.

Whatever the purpose of a child's room, fun should be a universal ingredient. You can infuse fun in a room in many ways, from creating a video game center for lounge rooms to choosing colourful, texturally appealing carpeting for a bedroom. A touch of whimsy, such as a swing hung from the ceiling or a wall mural of your child's favourite cartoon character, can produce smiles every time kids see them.

With some creativity and the right decorating materials, it's possible to create a space that will make children comfortable, happy and ready to tackle the new school year. THN Courtesy of BPT
