Set Sensible End-of-Season Goals
Feeling stretched by a busy fall schedule? Don't sweat it if you coast on a few
chores till spring— gardens often reward the procrastinator. For example,
ornamental grass stalks left standing provide winter landscape interest.
And bygone blooms with protein-packed seed heads— such as sunflower,
aster,
Echinaceaf Rudbeckia,
and
Solidago
— bring in the birds. Your top priority
should be removing all diseased plants and weeds— toss these out with the
trash, not in your compost pile, to avoid inviting the same troubles next year.
