    The white flower with the dark center in the photo is an anemone. The white ones you got are called cosmos.. Cosmos are super easy to grow from seed! You should definitely plant some in the spring! they come in different colors and are very cottage-y :)

  • @Edu_Kate

    You mentioned mud. Did you look for a doormat? Lots of seasonal finds out there, but coir may stain your decking.
    Okay, some tips:
    Purchase mums when they're in mostly bud stage so YOU get to enjoy the blooms. When the buds "crack" you can see the color to choose. I planted a few small ones a couple weeks ago and they're already looking a bit bedraggled. I don't know WHAT the critter nightlife is like. Mums like water.
    To soften the porch display, you could add swaths of burlap underneath. Garden centers carry it now for wrapping shrubs for winter. That might also protect the decking when the pumpkins rot.
    If you have squirrels in the area, they will chew on your pumpkins. I've heard of spraying them w/ a clear finish. I also heard Mentholatum (or was it Vicks VapORub?) will deter critters. Dunk a stick in the jar, pull it out and poke the coated stick among your display.
    I love maidenhair fern, but they're finicky about lighting. I thought you picked a wire vine. I think that would do better w/ more sun. You could repot your plants in larger containers so they don't dry out so fast.
    Ooh, Snake plant (AKA mother-in-law tongue) would look great for height.
    Your two wreathes were GORGEOUS! I have to paint my east-facing door and have been thinking of a pumpkin color from the very faded asparagus green from a few years ago. I could make a wreath similar to yours, but would need to really pull out the blackish color your wreath has so there's contrast.

    Put the pumpkins on the window sill on a platter or something so that it doesn't leave marks on all you hard work.
    When fall season is over save some of the pumpkin seed to plant in the spring to grow your own for next year.

    Just make sure you don’t leave the pumpkin sitting there so long that they start to moisten and rot on the bottom and ruin your books. I have a really bad habit of leaving pumpkin sit too long and they have ruined a lot of things!

    To water the maiden hair fern, fill up a soda bottle with water & turn it upside down in the planter pot, push down firmly. The plant will soak up just the right amount of water when it needs it. Fill bottle 1x weekly.

    Place pumpkins in the water and wash away any dirt.
    Allow your pumpkins to soak for 10 minutes on each side.
    Rinse and dry pumpkins completely to display.
