Decorative fall planters on door steps and front lawns provide an opportunity for avid gardeners to extend the growing season. 

Trending autumn decorations include stacking two to three pumpkins atop one another in planters - or transforming them into a "Pumpkin Man" (like a snowman).

Another favorite is a pumpkin from Crystal Lake last season, where homeowners sprayed it with black paint and created a vampire pumpkin.
