Making a Fall Pumpkin Display
 

The Fall is here, and with it all the beautiful shades of orange and yellow we're used to. Horticulturist Jason Reeves shows us how to take those gorgeous hues in squash and pumpkins to make a fall display in our yards. Make sure to check your pumpkins for blemishes, and wash them in bleach mixed with water to  to avoid rot. If you want some extra shine, and don't mind the artificial look, some clear shellac can add some shine to your gourds as well. Using all different sizes, shapes and colors of pumpkins can add variety to your display. Also, don't expect to come up with the perfect arrangement on the first try. Take a break if it does not seem to be working and come back to it later. Also, Jason takes a minute to show off a Tennessee dancing gourd, which spins like a top.
