The Colors Of Fall In My Garden

We’ve had two hard freezes in my garden already this fall, so there’s not much left growing there. That doesn’t mean I don’t have some beautiful fall colors and textures going on.

The flowering kale and cabbage was very pretty all summer long, but after the freezes they’re stunning. I love the rich purple colors that the cold weather has brought out.

    I used ornamental kale in one of my commercial garden landscapes this year! It is fabulous and will be the main stay of next year’s fall gardens!
