Tips on Preparing Your Garden for Winter

Sadly, no matter how much we may wish to deny it, winter is on its way, and will be here shortly (sooner for some of us than others). It’s always sad for me to say goodbye to my beautiful summer garden, although the fact that it’s not so beautiful anymore by now does help….

For those lucky enough to live in a climate where you can garden year-round, you may not have to worry about some of these things. But for many of us, the time has come to prepare our garden for its long rest over the winter months. (Meanwhile, we gardeners can dream, plan, and look forward to spring!)
