When Are You Putting Your Outdoor Fall Decorations Out?

wismiss — Mon, 31 Aug 2020 13:36:07 GMT

Last year we didn't have much of a fall. So, I'm thinking of pulling my annual flowers and replacing them with mums, changing my garden flag, changing the outfit on my welcome bear, and changing my front door wreath sometime this week or the early part of next week. What about you?

I was just thinking about this yesterday.... I'm really not in the mood this year. Usually I'm pulling out annuals and planting mums, putting out my little scarecrow and metal pumpkins, and hanging my big fall wreath on the porch.

I do more fall decor inside the house usually. It might brighten my mood or bring me down even more. Don't know.

It can stay warm here almost to the end of September, so I leave my Summer decorations up until then. At that point, I'll just change the wreath on the front door and pull out the annuals. In mid-October, I put all the Halloween decorations up, most of which will stay up until December.

I start the day after Labor Day. Leave it up till the day after Thanksgiving. Because that's what my Mom did.

I usually put my fall decor out mid Sept. I look forward to decorating my porch with wreath and a fall welcome sign, changing cushions on my rockers initially. I don't change my beautiful big pots (still looking glorious with flowers, coleus and potato vine) until mid Oct. and then add pansies and mums. May add some interior decor. I use Valerie's red truck filled with pumpkin filler and a red truck pillow on fireplace hearth. I have big stone corner, floor to high ceiling fireplace. I'm excited to make change in a couple of weeks more than ever because COVID!!!

It's usually very warm here til October (South Carolina), but I usually put my fall wreath out around the 3rd week of September--that's my only outdoor decoration, I do a bit more inside.

Always after Labor Day, that to me is the end of summer season and kick off to fall season. Must be because the 10 day forecast shows the days after Labor Day as being in the mid to upper 80's. That is Fall weather around here!!

It's still too hot in PA to think about fall....and it's still summer.

i always plant marigolds in yellow and orange in my flower gardens along with other summer flowers. When it gets cooler and my summer flowers fade away, my marigolds shine.

I don't have to plant fall flowers...they are already there. I usually change my door wreath and put a few pumpkins out at the end of Sept when fall truly begins.

I put my outside decorations up right after Labor Day, but will start my inside decorating this week.

I put out my indoor decorations yesterday. I thought I was going to purge some things, but it turned out I already did and I forgot!

I don't have much in the way of fall outdoor decorations, just a garden flag and I usually change my flag on the first of the month.

I don't do Halloween, just Harvest.

I think our fall wreath will go up the first week in September.

On or around Sept 21. The first day of Autumn. I am going big this year. Bales of hay, mums, scarecrows, all colors and shapes and sizes of pumpkins. This has been a terrible year and I need some joy.

I have all of my Americana decor up from Memorial Day thru Labor Day. I take everything down then. I don't begin decorating for Fall until October 1st. 30 days of Halloweeen stuff is 30 days too much for me!

Labor Day weekend for me. In the northeast our weather changes quickly come early September, though it's still nice the nights become cool and the leaves will begin to change. I love the fall and am excited for it ! Feel like we kind of got robbed of our summer and that it will feel nice to move on. As soon as our mums become availabe I will be getting some of those too.

I don't do outdoor but spent the weekend buying some Halloween items that are out on my table now and my scarecrows are smiling on my kitchen counter. I normally wait until Labor Day but had the bug to redo too badly so I have a new bathroom, artwork, and kitchen refresh.

I put a semi--Fall wreath on the door and changed the flowers in the planter two weeks ago. I'll bring them in about 2 weeks and go all out with the leaves, pumpkins and guords. I've got the garden cart on the front porch just wating to be filled.

Fall decorations and colors are my favorite! I put up my indoor decorations and will put my Fall door wreath and garden flag up on September 1st. They will stay up until after Thanksgiving. I love everything about Fall so bring it on!
