It's our way of saying "Thanks for being a loyal subscriber!" Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. The trees are at their peak and the air is just crisp enough for a walk on the carpet of crunching leaves. There’s work to be done, but take some time to enjoy our favorite fall things.

Submit Your Story: http://www.backyardlivingmagazine.com/RD.asp?ID=767&pmcode=$$refurl-link$$&email=$$email$$&indID=$$individualid$$ Apple picking and eating are highlights of the season. But instead of going to a orchard, why not grow your own? If you like a juicy apple this time of year, check out Apple of Your Eye and some Apple Recipes to use up your crop. What’s better than mums for fall color? Once summer’s over, Mum’s the Word. And if imagining the upcoming winter landscape makes you dreary, plan on year-long interest with ornamental grasses. Check out our favorites in Splendor in the Grasses. Fall also means football season, and what better way to kick it off than hosting a tailgate party in your backyard? We’re also including a bonus on growing carrots and some healthy carrot recipes to try. Plus, we promised to announce the winners of our Pumpkin and Best in Snow contests. See some amazing reader creations. See you next month! —Rachael Liska, Editor $$parm2$$ ----------------- Splendor in the Grass Ornamental grasses are a low-maintenance, year-round hit.
