Imagine my surprise when I opened  the December issue of Detroit Home magazine and saw that one of my friend/clients house that I decorate for the season was featured.

Peacock Kales

A look at a planting of "Peacock " kales on a sunny fall day

It's here "THE BIG DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN POST"

Yep I know Halloween was yesterday, but I'm on a mission to extend it for at least a week. Or at least that's how long I plan to keep my decorations up for

This is a day that needs to be celebrated for more than one day

A weeks worth of trick or treating, including adults sounds good to me.

Well until that week comes enjoy my Halloween decorations

Glaucus Blue

Glaucus blue the color used to describe the bluish/grayish/purplish/greenish color of ornamental kales and cabbages used in this fall planting.

Peacock kales and ruby red cabbages. The colors get even better with cooler temperatures. The red vein's of the kales will intensify

It's nice when a plant from a earlier planting works with a new planting. Here the purple clover leaf of Oxalis still looks great in the fall planting, and does well in cool temperatures
