Fall list to do

  1. Make cuttings
  2. Wash all pots and flats before storing for winter
  3. Submerse all plants before bringing in for winter
  4. Cut back all plants and spray down with water
  5. Isolate plants and watch for bugs after a summer outside
  6. Collect ripened seed for reseeding annuals and store in refrigerator after drying
  7. Buy a bale of straw for covering plants when ground freezes.  Use for fall decoration in meantime.
  8. Collect soybean seeds for next year crop when dry on vines
  9. Dead head the ugly stuff and let the flowering kale give its show for fall.  
  10. Place remaining pots of flowering kale in bare spots
  11. Rake and dispose of black walnut leaves rather than compost. Do the same with shells the squirrels have left in garden.
  12. Enjoy the last beautiful days of the season with a beer in the lawn chair as often as possible.
