How to Make the Most of Fall Planting Season
If you're new to gardening, you may think in fall it's time to shut down, but in West Virginia, not so. In our humid subtropical climate, which includes the region where you may be looking at Morgantown homes for sale, fall is prime time to experiment with a whole new palette of plants. Don't stop at perennials and bulbs; you can also plant trees and shrubs, as well as cool weather food crops such as various delicious greens and cole crops such as cauliflower.
Why Plant in Fall?
On average, the first fall frost in our region will be around Oct. 16, so that means you would need to consult a planting guide, such as the Old Farmer's Almanac, which can advise you when you need to start seeds indoors; when to plant seedlings or transplants; or when you need to start seeds outdoors, based on frost dates for harvest.

What Makes a REALTOR® Different?
It's time to buy or sell a property. You start searching for a representative who can help you navigate the real estate world. Then you find that some identify as REALTORS®, others as real estate agents. While most people use these terms interchangeably, they aren't the same thing. Both list houses for sale and help buyers with the acquisition process, but not every real estate agent can identify as a REALTOR®. Here's what you need to know about the Realtor difference when looking for or adding your home to the list of Morgantown homes for sale.
Real Estate Agents
A real estate agent is a professional who has been granted a state license to engage in transactions relating to the sale, purchase, or rental of property. The license is acquired after the individual passes all required real estate classes and the real estate licensing exam, which can vary widely by state. West Virginia, for example, requires a minimum of 90 hours of classroom instructions. After that, the applicant should pass a written test that covers real estate standards and state and federal real estate laws. A real estate agent must renew his or her license every one or two years and pay an annual fee for it.

Get Creative With a Backyard Fire Pit
A fire pit is a popular addition to your yard since it creates a cozy gathering spot. And building one lets you get creative as you determine its size, shape, and materials to suit your needs and sense of style.
Our real estate agents suggest looking at the following DIY fire pits for inspiration:

You don't necessarily need mortar to build a fire pit from retaining wall blocks, as Kim Anderson of thriftylittlemom.com proves. As long as they're stacked correctly, she says, they'll stay put. Her four-tier fire pit uses a cleared, flat area of her backyard as a bottom, and she broke a block in half to use in the second tier as a way for air to reach the fire.
