Early fall is a lot like early spring, there is a lot to do inside and out. I like to remove the summer decorations and do a "fall" cleaning before decorating for the holidays. In the garden there are plants to be cut back, some to be dug up, all the dead debris removed and everything mulched good. In general, put the gardens to sleep for the winter. As much as I love summer and all the flowers, there is a satisfaction in getting everything ready for a winter rest, start planning for the spring and have a little more time to relax.
