Has your late summer garden seen better days? If your outdoor paradise is getting a little ragged, and you would like some easy and cheap gardening tips to get it back into shape in time for fall, keep reading!
Most gardens, no matter how well they are designed will have periods without a lot of bloom. But a late summer garden is more than just lack of bloom; it’s overgrown plants, ratty leaves, spindly annuals and brown spots in the lawn. Here’s how to fix these garden problems.
Cut back your blooming perennials by half. This will stimulate new growth, and create need for another flush of flowers in the fall for many varieties. It will also clean up the overgrown look of your flower beds.
If you still have brown foliage from spring bulbs showing, it is safe to cut them to the ground now. They have already stored all the energy they need for spring bloom, and the dead plant matter isn’t doing anything for the look of your garden.
If you have a pest problem, you should be addressing it. You can use commercially available Sevin dust for many of the most common predators, or seek out an organic alternative. One good way to identify what is eating your plants is place a piece of white paper under the leaves of the plant being attached and give the plant a good tap or shake. Whatever pest is the culprit should fall onto the paper for easy identification. If you’re stumped, pop it in a jar and take it to your local nursery for identification and advice on how to eradicate it while doing the least damage to beneficial bugs. Remember, we need those bees! Don’t’ poison them.
If you have annuals planted in containers or beds that have seen better days, cut them back hard. Apply a good dose of water soluble fertilizer and they will bounce back and start re-blooming for you. Petunias, alyssum and geraniums all need a good rejuvenation this time of year, but will bloom well into fall if you try this trick.
If your lawn has developed some dry spots, try raking in an organic compost or fine bark to protect the soil and hold in moisture. Water frequently during the day for a week or two until you start to see new green growth. Cut back on the watering gradually, but be consistent until the lawn is once again green in the spot.
A late summer garden may seem to have gone to sleep, but its pretty easy to throw a big basket of water on it and wake it back up. (Both literally, and figuratively!) Use these easy and cheap gardening tips to renew your garden, and have a beautiful spot to spend those quiet autumn afternoons.

Vanities are one of the major focal points in a bathroom. In general, they are one of the easier fixtures to remodel so if you are looking to remodel your bathroom, you might want to start with the vanity.
There are many styles to choose from, and making the decision on which to buy is often not an easy choice. But knowing the major types of vanities can help make the decision making much more easy. Contemporary vanities have a distinguishable contemporary appearance. There are many styles out in the market, as they can be made out of several different materials and are made in several different shapes. Materials can be anything from stainless steel, glass, wood, chrome, and man-made composite materials.
Contemporary vanities are sleek, streamlined, and have a noticeable geometric appearance. Many will feature a countertop or vessel sink, while some will have vanity top formed from the basin. Many contemporary vanities are wall-mounted, but just as many can have a classic or rustic design. So, they are in a class of their own. Wall mounting vanities do well in smaller bathrooms, such as half bathrooms or powder rooms. By taking up as little space as possible, they allow for a spacier feel to bathrooms that would otherwise feel cramped with other types of vanities.
Victorian vanities have always been a popular choice amongst homeowners. They are almost always made out of wood, which has intricate carvings and designs, reminiscent of the elaborate and romantic era that was the Victorian age. Victorian vanities look best with granite and marble countertops, but you can never go wrong with white or black porcelain.
Unless they are being passed down to you as a family heir loom, original pieces are hard to come by. Antique shops and current owners are probably the first people you should go to. However, you can always find mass produced replicas. These will most likely not have carved designs but rather adhered designs, but many will look like the real thing, stains and all.
Missionary vanities are another timeless style. Like Victorian style vanities, mission vanities are often made of wood, but lack the intricate carvings. Instead, the carvings are often simple, straight lines. Some don’t even have carvings. This is whey missionary vanities are versatile, able to match almost any bathroom and any theme. You get the classic appeal of wood and the contemporary appeal of minimalistic designs. Missionary vanities look best with white or black porcelain, but you can certainly make marble or granite work. Also, consider installing a vessel sink, which is a sink bowl that sits on top the counter rather than dropped in. You’ll find that this makes for a very contemporary, yet classic look.
With vanities, make sure you select faucet fixtures that match, but with the wide selection of bathroom faucets today, the hard part is narrowing down to one choice.

The great thing about learning some key elements of landscaping is that you can apply them to a home that you are just settling into, as well as one you are about to sell. For those who are selling or buying real estate in Tampa Bay Florida, some extra curb appeal advice will go a long way.
Florida is popular for nature-lovers. Instead of trying to keep up with garden hobbyists, present a clean, green impression, rather than a mini-arboretum. The decluttered impression that you want for the inside, should apply to the outside. Imagine a buyer coming to view your Tampa Bay Florida real estate house and all they can think is either, “how will I keep up with all those tropical flower beds?” or “how long will it take me to undo all of this?” Not that you should tear down all your hard work from a spectacular garden; just be sure to have it freshly pruned, trimmed and weeded for buyers, so they don’t feel like they have to have a green thumb if they want to buy your home.
Select your plants according to how much sun and water they need. Then, focus on buying smaller selections (or larger if your budget allows) of some of Florida’s award-winning specimens like the East Indian Holly Fern, which is wonderful for mass ground cover, and the Dwarf Golden Dewdrop for a beautiful border shrub with its yellow-gold leaves. Make up for size with color, with the purple-blooming Princess Flower, or the Yellow Elder, that will grow quickly (up to eight or ten feet tall). The plants you pick should attract the eyes to the house with their complimentary shades. For example, forest green trim on a house is complimented by shrubs with yellow leaves, and homes with neutral features can always use a few splashes of dramatic color in their landscaping.
Take a picture of the front of your house with you as you visit nurseries and garden shops. Garden professionals can suggest which colors and varieties will work best for your particular home. They should also be able to tell you what kind of mulch, pebble or lava stones you should use for each. The colors of these can also add a lovely contrast of color.
Plant a few annuals near the mailbox and an odd number of shrubs or hedges in front of the house to create depth. Make your house inviting with colors that compliment, but don’t complicate. If your house is basic in design, plant a few romantic Magnolias or exotic Calathea to break up the lines. Likewise, a house with a modern exterior can be dressed down for the conservative eye with neatly trimmed Serissa Foetida hedges and simple splashes of annuals.
If you want something even more simple, try buying big, decorative pots and filling them with a few shades of hardy flowers. This takes care of catching the eyes of the buyer, yet implies the perfect level of impermanence for the more fickle-natured. You can offer to leave the pots, or take them with you if the buyer doesn’t want them. This can be a quick fix for those who are trying to move, sell and maintain a family and full-time job at the same time. There are plenty of ways to get elaborate with landscaping, but if you need to keep things easy, focus on complimentary colors, hearty specimens and as neat of an exterior as possible, so buyers and visitors will see your house as a breath of fresh, tropical air
