Fall is a great time for long, leisurely drives to leaf-peep and enjoy the natural beauty
of the season. Alas,what goes up must come down, so grab those rakes, pruners
and other garden tools and let's get cracking.
It's a good idea to remove the fallen leaves from the grass to minimize damage to the lawn over the winter. Take those raked up leaves and recycle them into your landscaped beds as mulch to improve soil texture and add nutrients.
While you've got the momentum going, now is the time to cut down, transplant and divide most perennials. Empty out and thoroughly clean any containers of spent annuals. Finally get those spring bulbs in the ground before it freezes.
Once you've taken the time and made the effort to properly put your garden to bed for the winter, relax and enjoy- you'll be glad you did come next Spring.
