Welcome to Growing Wisdom and our tips segment for the week and we talk this week about doing different things in the garden for fall. And one of the great things about garden center in the fall is that their so many offerings and the offerings just keep expanding, you know I got this great ornamental pepper here. Falls have got of some ornamental cabbages.

And these are waste in which you can really change your yard for the fall season and this will take you right through the thanks giving and maybe beyond depending on climate you are in. You go over here and we can find somebody great ornamental cabbages and this stay nice and green and that is the great thing about this. Is that they will add some nice green to your yard.

So, you can put this in a container, you could also put this alongside the pathway. We walk over to another area of the garden center and here we just get some of these miniature pumpkins they almost look like ghost pumpkins, little gourds here as well and these are pretty cool. And what you could do with this is put them on your step, put them basket, inside the house.

To last for a while we have also get this great Siege here and look how look the white margins of the Siege picked up on the white of on the white of a little pumpkin here. So, that is really nice display and you could sort of choose which color you want to work with. You know maybe you want to work with just white and green and do a bunch of the Sieges which some of the pumpkins and the gorgeous pick up on that color and find some white mums or even some ornamental peppers that would complement that display.

The interesting thing about the ornamental peppers are the colors and just tremendous color look at this we have got this great yellow. So, this is called saucy yellow and you have got this wonderful explosives amber purple and what you can do is make the ornamental pepper the centerpiece of one of your fall displays and then you can build around it. So, what I want to show you is look at the pansies over here and look at the pansies with the ornamental pepper.

So, they have chosen that hot color the oranges and the yellow and mixed to them with pansies. This particular display here we have got the purple ornamental peppers, and then they have gotten. They have used this grass which almost looks like it dye. But this is just the false color of the grass and you could put something like on these small asters in there and that would really complement things quite well.

I think you got the idea go to the garden centers choose some of your favorite plants and asters a grass, choose a pumpkin or a mum. Put something together that you are going to love for the next several months and this will take you right through the holiday season and perhaps up to the first snow.
