As declining light and chilly daytime temperatures draws the growing season to an end, the process for getting ready for winter begins. The shorter days of autumn signal a dramatic change of direction for the landscape and present the gardener with many new responsibilities. Putting the garden to bed is a gradual process that begins at the end of September and continues right up until the ground freezes. Learn how to start cleaning up your garden beds and protecting your plants for next spring. October is the perfect time to correct previous mistakes and lay the groundwork for a spectacular gardening season next year.
