Doesn’t that picture make you long for snow? No? Yeah, me either, but one thing is for sure, it’s getting about that time to prepare your garden for winter, depending on where you live.

Here in Nashville, we have another couple of months we can spend on getting ready, but the farther north you are, the less time you have. Stephanie at Stop The Ride has a wonderful post today about preparing your garden for winter:

We still have a few things that are producing, but all the plants that
are finished have either been pulled or tilled in to the ground. We
pulled the corn to give to the animals, but the rest was tilled in. The
dead plants will decay and help to fertilize the soil.

Some
choose to till in the fall to make the ground more workable in the
spring, before it is dry enough to get a tiller in. If you choose to
till for this reason, it is a good idea to cover the soil with leaves
or other mulch. This will prevent any soil loss and weeds.

Go on over to Stephanie’s place for much, much more.
