Digging It features shorts on things interesting, happening and trending in the worlds of gardening, horticulture, garden and landscape design, outdoor décor, architecture, style, food & drink and more—from new products and services to exhibits and tours. This outdoor accent provides a beautiful and practical way to keep the home fires burning.

Nothing knocks the chill out of the fall air quite like a roaring fire, and portable wood-burning fire pits let you add a bit of cozy warmth almost anywhere—extending the alfresco season well into late fall. The Patriot, Ohio Flame’s bowl-shaped fire pit, is made from sturdy, long-lasting carbon steel, which will acquire a rich patina over time. Conducive to social gatherings, it’s the ideal centerpiece for spending outdoor time with family and friends, roasting marshmallows or quiet, romantic moments with that special someone. $249.99; ohioflame.com.
