16788fFall is a great time of year and Halloween just has colors that bring back some awesome memories of my past Halloweens. You can get Halloween flowers and plants that give the look, feel and even the smell of Halloween.

Last year we tried growing our own flowers for Halloween but that didn’t turn out so well. They didn’t look anything like we expected and they certainly didn’t look like Halloween flowers so we thought it would be better to just buy the Halloween flowers we want.

I remember one year, a long time ago now, my older brother thought it would be funny to hook the garden sprinkler behind the flowers we put out on the porch at Halloween. Every time anyone would bend over to smell the flowers he would turn the sprinkler on. Well it may not sound that funny but way back when I was still a kid it was very funny, especially when it was someone’s mother smelling the flowers.

My mom had a gift for growing and arranging flowers at Halloween. They always looked like fall and Halloween as well as lasting a long time. She would have a vase with beautiful arrangements in all the windows facing the street. I have tried to do this myself over the years but it never looks like moms, so this year we are buying our Halloween flowers and I will stick to backyard gardening for vegetables.
