In the garden with Felder: Did your garden get 'booglified'?
Far as I know, there isn't a formal word for what happens when frozen summer plants melt into a greenish glob. But botanically and practically, it's nasty.

Raking fall leaves can seem like a chore and a never-ending one, at that.

Getting fond of hardy outdoor succulents? Time to sort a few out.
Southern Gardening: Lycoris bring unexpected beauty to fall landscapes
I love the autumn season because we're starting to recover from Mississippi's hot and humid summer with cooler weather. Not only do gardeners appreciate the season change, but so do many of our landscape plants.
In the garden with Felder: A Lycoris, by any other name
I have more naked ladies dancing through my garden than I know what to do with.

If there is a showier plant in the fall than our Mississippi native Gulf muhly grass, I don't know what it is.

Fall has officially arrived, although temperatures remain summerish. But when the calendar changes, it's time to start thinking about the cool-season annual colors to be planted and enjoyed during the winter months.
