Earlier this year, I showed you how I had made a Summer Shade Container Planter for my back porch that was almost exclusively made out of houseplants rather than typical garden plants. No geraniums, no petunias, no verbena. None of the normal summer annuals. Part of the joy of the planter was that after summer...

Of course, I always purchase a few fall mums to decorate my porches with. I usually place them in bushel baskets or urns on the porch and add in some pumpkins and cornstalks. A perfectly traditional no-fail fall look! But it's fun to mix it up a bit with less obvious fall plants in your...
