I love Mums. A fall flower I wait all year around for. They come in an array of colors, from warm pink hues to hardy yellow and zesty oranges.Mums mixed in the garden with pumpkins and gourds are my sign Fall has arrived. Years ago I started to grow my fall mums in Miracle Gro potting mix. The difference was amazing. The Mums seemed to triple in size. They also seemed to lasts a lot longer than they did before I started using MiracleGro Logo(1).jpgpotting mix. Although I prefer to grow Mums in myFall gardening, you could grow any fall flowers of your choice as long as you use Miracle Gro Potting mix you'll Find beauty in the Fallmixture of colors.

Place mums in pots inside the bowl around the perimeter. Interchange the gords and the Ivy, fill in open spots with mums and corn. Mist finished project. Enjoy.
