They’re pretty spuds, but they’re not for the table. Garden blogger Kylee, at Our Little Acre, has dug up the tubers of her ‘Margarita’ sweet potato vine (Ipomoea batatas ‘Margarita’), hoping to repeat her past success at holding them over until spring. It’s a smart idea. We gardeners love to keep things going whenever we can, so we overwinter tender plants, nurture cuttings, propagate “pups,” divide and repot. For one thing, it saves money; for another, we get to develop long-term relationships with the plants we love.

This year when selecting a wreath for your home, play with shape and materials to make your wreath more unique and stylish. Create an eye-catching focal point with this blossom wreath. It has color and texture with velvety, fabric petals. Using boxwood, magnolia or holly branches can update your look without changing your color scheme. This square boxwood wreath is simple and contemporary at the same time. You can also go for a more natural look with this tree-shaped cedar bough and pine cone wreath. This allows for Christmas decorating, but it will not over-shadow your home for those who believe less is more.

I am so excited about Christmas this year. It is such a fun time of family, decorating, and seeing friends. Our December calendar is already filling up. I can’t wait for the day after Thanksgiving to put up all my Christmas decor. This year I have noticed a huge trend of glittered and sequined ornaments, trees, and accessories. They are in dark pinks, greens, and purples instead of the traditional Christmas red and green. Another thing I love is the use of natural elements. I have noticed a lot of unfinished wooden items, straw animals, and decorations made from pine cones. There are so many neat do-it-yourself projects to make decorations also. I am ready to get started! Check out the Holiday Preview by clicking on any of the pictures below.
