It's a common frustration. You buy 25, 100, maybe even 300 tulip bulbs, plant them in the fall and enjoy a great display in the spring. But the following spring, all you get is a smattering of flowers and maybe a bunch of leaves. Here is what you need to know.

Whether it's five stories up in an apartment building or in a tiny backyard, it's possible to grow greenery. As long as there is access to water and sunshine, people with the desire to add a little plant life to their living space can break out the watering can and create a green space.

Fall is a great time to try your hand at turning this year's yard debris into next year's natural fertilizer.

The beautiful new urns on your deck or patio were a sight to behold this summer. Overflowing with brightly colored flowers, they brought you pleasure all season. But now that the colder weather is setting in, do you need to unplant them and store them out of sight where no one can enjoy them?

Backyard bird feeding is an easy way to enjoy wildlife up close and personal. Feeders, and the beautiful birds that perch upon them, can brighten up any garden or yard. More important, however, is that bird feeding is very beneficial to the outdoor pets we adore so much.

Humans aren't the only ones who look forward to the autumn harvest. Fall brings a bounty of natural foods for our feathered friends, too. But while they're feasting on fall's cornucopia of delicacies, birds are also planning ahead, taking note of yards with bird feeders that can help them weather winter's cold.

Everyone wants a beautiful landscape but most people feel they lack the time and expertise to cultivate the results they want. With a few simple eco-friendly changes in your fall landscape care, you can get more beautiful results with a limited investment of time and effort.
