Fall To-Do List in the Garden:

Tidy up! You'll be glad you did when spring comes faster than you imagine, and with it a long list of new chores. Clean, sharpen, oil and organize your garden tools. Edge your garden beds.

• Continue dead-heading any daisy-flowered perennials and annuals like Echinacea, Rudbeckia and Heliopsis. These will continue flowering for weeks if you prevent the flowers from forming seeds.
• Remove any perennial weeds that have invaded the garden. A non-selective herbicide is a good way to remove the spreading types, applied carefully while the weather is still warm and the weeds are actively growing.
• Remove any annual weeds that are going to seed. Throw these in the garbage, not in the compost pile or next year there will be ten times as many.
• Empty your compost bin. Early fall is a great time for this, since it makes room for all those leaves, dead plant tops, etc. that you will have on hand in another few weeks.
• Shut off outdoor faucets and disconnect hoses.
• Walk through your garden; take pictures, make notes, start a scrapbook or do anything at all that allows you to remember the past season with its successes and challenges in detail.
