It's fall (if no one noticed), so vegetable soup is on the menu. Sweet potatoes, squash, even kale. Any seasonal vegetables will do. If you want, start with a vegetable broth first. Cook and puree (or leave it chunky!). You will enjoy the warmth of fall flavor in every spoonful!
Sort of! If you have spots of bare soil, clear out any weeds then mulch that spot to give the grass a chance to grow in next spring weed free! You can even add a little grass seed. It will germinate over the winter season and surprise you come next April!
I don't mean you must hang up skeletons and play "witchy" music. Bake a cake, ice some sugar cookies, and just celebrate the last day of October! Include googly eyes and fake spiders if you want, but the point is to find FUN in the day. Now's your chance. You can do this. Your kiddos will enjoy the memories!
You know those self-stick plastic wall hangers? Place one upside down on the outside of your trash can and loop the tie on your trash bag around it. It will never "crash" into your trash can again! (This also works on smaller trash cans for using plastic shopping bags with handles!)
Rainy October days will bring out the garden slugs, so put out slug bait now. You can prevent a baby slug invasion of your garden in the spring! Check with your local home and garden store for advice on the best sort for your area.
