Have You Put Your Garden "To Bed" for the Winter?

Now is a good time to clear what's left of your summer garden into your compost heap or recycling bin. (Unless you are reading this from "Down Under". You might be planting your gardens there right now?) Leaving old vegetation in your garden over winter is not a good idea, as plant diseases can be spread this way.

Now is a great time to add a layer of straw, manure, compost, or leaf mold to your garden surface. These organic materials will break down over winter, and can be worked into the soil before spring planting.

What Happened to our Potato Container Garden?

This is a short, and very sad video about our Garbage Can Container Potato Garden Experiment this past summer. Have a look, and shed a few tears with us. If you have any suggestions or ideas on this subject, PLEASE visit our "Share Your Story" page, and hopefully send a photograph along with your story. We definitely need some help with this!
