Vegetables popular for fall outdoor decorating

Vegetables such as peppers, lettuce, beets, eggplant, and sweet potatoes can all be used for outdoor decoration.

Gourds and Indian corn, as well as decorative vegetables, make great outdoor decor, symbolizing the harvest at Thanksgiving. The average American household spends an average of $45 a year on decorating in fall. That's second only to Christmas.
