It seems just a few weeks ago that , we put those first tiny green plantings in the spring soil. Now its time to put the garden to bed for the winter. With these few tips, you'll be a strides ahead for the next growing season.

First, take note of any changes you want to make for next year or what needs to be moved or divided so you don't forget over the long winter months.  

Clean all debris from the garden so that pests won't have a place to harbor through the winter months. This is a great proactive pest control effort that will start your garden out ahead in the spring.   

• Don't forget to water trees and shrubs until the ground freezes.  

• Cut back and mulch perennials.

• Have extra yard waste you need to get rid of? Visit this EPA site to find out more about waste reduction and composting in your region.

• Clean, repair, sharpen and maintain all garden tools.

• Catalog your garden tools, hoses, etc. that need replacing and buy on clearance at home and garden stores now.
