When it comes time for a new fence, determining which material is right for your needs is crucial. The costs will vary depending on which type of fencing you select. For most homeowners, however, the choice comes down to aesthetics. Knowing which style and material best fits with your current home and landscape could make the decision easier. However, it’s also important to consider lifespan, maintenance, repair, and costs.

Iron Fencing

Iron is known for its immense durability. The material, despite its strength, is also quite beautiful. Furthermore, iron requires very little maintenance and pairs well with most creative landscape designs already in place. Due to its strength and appearance, expect your fencing to last for years. Unlike wood, iron does not rot, warp, or attract bugs.

On the other hand, iron is also heavy and quite difficult to manage. Hiring a professional with prior experience in iron fencing is important. Depending on the environment, iron may develop rust over time. Rust typically blossoms in areas where the paint coating has begun to chip or fade. Inspections are recommended on occasion.

Wood Fencing

Wood is a favorite amongst homeowners. More people choose wood for its elegance and easy installation than any other material. Plus, wood fencing is more versatile than any other option on the market. In fact, wood pairs extremely well with almost any architectural or landscape design.

The cons of wood, however, are well-known. With excessive moisture, wood will begin to warp and rot over time. Lastly, unfortunately, termites have a particular fondness for timber. They chew through the material, build their homes, and begin to spread. Over time, your fencing may collapse due to insect populations.

As a homeowner, you take immense pride in the craftsmanship and appearance of your landscape, especially the front yard. Thankfully, local outdoor stores offer a variety of shrubbery, flowers, hedges, and small trees that you plant in plain sight. Before long, your yard will be the envy of the entire neighborhood. Of course, to accomplish such a task, you’ll need to understand how to use both color and texture correctly.

Colors

When it comes to color, there are so many options to select from; it’s outstanding! Extend the color in your garden or yard by choosing plants that flower at various times of the year. This influx of color at random times will offer a sense of wonder.

For most homes, the garden blooms once or twice per year. Those points are colorful and pleasant, but what about the rest of the year? You’ll want to have a nice variety of plants that are spread apart to ensure color year-round.

Texture

Where possible, mix leaf types – shape, size, and color – and use a combination of trees, grasses, and perennials. You can skip using annuals, except for fun pot plantings. They tend to be more expensive and must be replaced each year, which is just unnecessary work on your part.

Furthermore, a nice of set shrubs in front of the home will contract the exterior paint wonderfully. Pair the shrubbery with a few short trees placed periodically on the front lawn, and you’ll notice an immediate change.

There is nothing quite as nostalgic as eating winter squash on a chilly autumn day. This infamous
comfort food is the key ingredient in many favorite fall dishes. Along with being incredibly healthy, they also have an impressive storage life. Growing your favorite type of squash can be quite simple. Here are a few steps to follow that will have you growing your very own squash in no time!

Pick a Squash, Any Squash

There are many varieties of winter squash to try. Most varieties are fantastic when roasted, sautéed, baked, or pureed. Squash is an incredibly versatile vegetable. Here are a few common varieties that you can consider for your garden:

• Butternut squash
• Buttercup squash
• Hubbard squash
• Acorn squash
• Spaghetti squash
• Cushaw squash

Plant Early

During spring, prepare your seeds after your last frost of the season. Put out seedlings when they are about 3-4 weeks old. Make sure to stop planting squash about 2-3 months before the first freezing bout of winter hits. Squash grows best in warmer climates, so keep that in mind if you feel like you are planting late.

Soil & Planting

You want your squash to grow during warm weather in moist but drained soil with a pH of about 6.0 to 6.5. Find an area of full sun and make a meter wide planting hill into rows along your garden’s edge. Make sure your soil is loose and make your planting sites about 12 inches deep. Work in about two inches of compost and fertilizer and plant 5-6 seeds per hill. You should get about 3-4 squash plants per hill. Save your seeds so you can continue to plant next season!

Halloween is full of fun traditions, many of them surrounding pumpkins. Whether it is carving a festive jack-o-lantern, or baking some tasty pumpkin treats, imagine doing it all with pumpkins you have grown yourself! Growing pumpkins is not difficult when you know what to do. Get a head start on growing pumpkins for next Halloween! Here are a few tips on how to grow the absolutely perfect pumpkins.

The Right Soil

Before you begin, you want to make sure that you have the perfect soil ready for your pumpkin seeds. Add some compost to ensure the soil is rich in the right nutrients for your pumpkins to grow. Compost also helps soil retain moisture better, which will help your pumpkins to stay hydrated. If you do not have your own compost, many garden stores or professional landscapers will have a compost resource.

Lots of Sunlight

Pumpkin plants need lots of sunlight to grow perfectly. Make sure to plant your pumpkins where the sun is shining at least six hours a day.

Choose Your Seedlings

Make sure to plant your pumpkin seeds when the temperatures are warmest during the day. Let the seeds germinate and them plant the most robust seedlings in the ground.

Water Thoroughly

Pumpkins need plenty of water to grow. In fact, a pumpkin is about 90% water! So make sure to soak each mound and make sure it doesn’t dry out during the heat of the day.

Prune & Trim

As your pumpkin vines grow, make sure to prune any leaves that look unsightly, for the absolute best quality pumpkins, trim each vine so each plant only produces one pumpkin. As they grow, make sure the bottom of the pumpkin rests on the ground to get that perfect round shape.
