Happy October!
My favorite month has arrived and I couldn’t be more ready!
The arrival of October brings cooler temperatures and the hallmarks of the season. . .
corn mazes, pumpkin patches, hay rides, apple orchards, hot cider and harvest feasts!
October is my Potting Shed’s favorite month too!
My Potting Shed is a calendar girl, aka, Miss October,
featured in She Shed Living’s 2021 Calendar by Turner Licensing.
Hello Autumn Wreath and a Wheelbarrow of Pumpkins
She had a bonus feature for October 2020, also included in the calendar.
A Fall Harvest Around the Potting Shed
The window box is liner-free for fall, with a harvest of pumpkins and gourds.
And I’m Chalking it Up to Fall and Garden Blooms
Tricolor mums provide a transition from summer to fall, blending the colors of summer and fall,
when annuals are still blooming with our warm 70 – 80 degree days.
A ‘Hello Autumn’ wreath hangs on the Potting Shed door in welcome. . .
With a bittersweet wreath from the farmers market framing a plate. . .
And bittersweet vine winding along a bird-topped trellis,
replacing the clematis, no longer in bloom.
A Merry Halloween is only 31 days away. . .
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Hi Mary,
Can you tell me where you sourced the Halloween count down calendar with the black cat in the pumpkin? One can never have too many Halloween decorations and I am always so happy to add a unique piece to my collection.
Congratulations on the publishing (again!) of your shed, she’ll obviously be “she-shed of the year”!

I just love all of your Halloween and fall decorations! It gets me inspired to do something myself. Thanks!
Your potting shed is beyond stunning. Love it all, but must admit most enamored with your wheelbarrow and numerous galvanized watering cans. Wholeheartedly agree that October is wonderful. Your posts so make my day. Thanks for your sharing them.
Ms. Potting Shed couldn’t be happier!
As tradition goes she is all decked out in warm inviting colors of
Fall with pumpkins galore brought together by your very gifted
Hands Mary.
