Put a sheen on those pumpkins! (To better catch those stunning shadows). Spray those gorgeous beauties with a clear glaze *I used KRYLON crystal clear, triple thick clear glaze this year* It will make those plump things glisten in the soft autumn light......seems to help preserve them too.

Try out the GARDEN GROOM, a collecting hedge trimmer that captures the trimmings (like my vexing tiny boxwood leaves) as you clip. It's not necessarily any easier on your back (if you have to bend like I do!), but goes MUCH faster than my beloved long-handled pruners, and DOES collect those tiny leaves. If it would just give you a back massage when you're finished.
#3
Keep a LARGE supply of these Chinese take-out containers on hand (in multiple COLORS) for last minute gifts of treats from your kitchen. I like to color coordinate (duh!) my card/tag/labels to the color of the box. Oh, I got these at Michael's, but I bet you can find them at a lot of places.

You'll see why. I promise. You'll be glad you did.

Run, do not walk, because there's not much time left, to plant some mescalin mix for fall salads.......maybe with some pears and goat cheese and toasted walnuts? Yum!
