Thank you so much. I have in five colours. White (Elba), Pink, Blue, Purple and other one similar, let's say light blue. In my home town the weather will be getting more cold and maximum temperature drops to 0 C, but now its 14 C. I am planning to go to my home by end of November and i dont think at that time it will drop too much. Is it right time to plant. Yes i have a garden where i can have sun at least for 6-8 hours daily if the sky is not cloudy. Please advise.

If I was near to you I would have come over to look after them for you so that you could still enjoy. It must be very difficult for you not being able to do the things I just take for granted. I have decided not to be fashionable in my apartment but to take the parts that appeal to me in the various pics, advice and discussions that take place within houzz. I must admit the lovely pictures of the homes are all quite unique. The ideas and discussions helpful. I will not be a slave to what is in fashion.

The beauty and relaxation that your garden can provide you and your family is certainly worth all the work you put in each year. Putting in a little extra work at the end of the season, however, can make getting your garden ready next spring easier and can help keep your plants healthy through the winter months. Here are a few great tips that will get your garden ready to handle the cold and snow. Clean Up: Though not a favorite task of any gardener, it is a very necessary step to getting your garden ready for winter. Remove your annuals, empty and store any pots and containers, and give your garden one last mow. Also, raking up all those leaves is one chore all homeowners are familiar with each autumn, but they do make great mulch for your perennials and vegetable garden, and are also a great addition to your compost. Plant Or Relocate Trees And Shrubs: The fall is the best time to get new trees into the ground, or move those you have earmarked to be relocated. The best strategy is to choose trees that are hardy for your zone, as it makes their survival more likely and maintenance easier. Also, choosing evergreens and shrubs that produce berries in the winter months can make your garden more interesting and provide activity for birds and other wildlife. Protect Your Trees: For new or young trees this is an important step you'll not want to forget in winterizing your garden. Covering trees and shrubs with burlap is most important in areas that have exposure to northwest winds and high sun. Be sure, however, not to do this too early in the season, in order to prevent rot. It is also a good idea to give your evergreens plenty of water to prevent burnout. Test Soil And Mulch: After the ground freezes be sure to add mulch to your perennial garden. This will protect both your soil and plants through the long winter months, as well as provide much needed nutrients for spring. This is also a good time to test the pH of your soil to see if it is lacking any essential minerals for the next growing season. Plant Spring Bulbs: This is also the time of year to get your spring bulbs into the ground. Be sure that you do this before the first frost, and give them plenty of water when planting them. Unlike all the work you put into your garden in spring, winter clean-up can seem like a difficult and unrewarding task, but with this effort you will keep your garden in tip-top shape for the growing season ahead!

I agree with other posters that you should paint the coach light and its pole black. You might consider adding matching, wall-mounted coach lights to flank your front door and the garage door. You also might add white-painted window boxes and add real or artificial greenery, pine cones, and weather-proof ornaments in colors appropriate for certain holidays. For the fall season, you might use the pole to support a scarecrow dressed in autumn colors and then place three or four large pumpkins along the sidewalk. For winter, add a wreath with a red and green plaid bow to each door, window, and the yard light to celebrate Christmas. Later, you could suspend a string of small red or pastel-painted wooden hearts from the wreath on the pole for Valentine's Day and change out this string for a string of small green-painted wooden shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day and the spring season. For a bit of "punch," paint the trim around the garage door the same beautiful red as your front door. I do not know what your budget it, but it seems the house would look better with double windows on the right rather than the single window. Other posters' suggestions for evergreen plants and color are great, but some colorful, seasonal decorations could help with the curb appeal as well.
