Garden withdrawal

It is nearly November and if you haven't already dismantled your vegetable garden, now is the time. Don't worry about garden withdrawal. Think of the removal of the spent and dried or wilted stems and branches as reminders of the future; what you will plant and care for and watch over come next Spring. Let the Winter blanket the plot with restful frost or snow. Planting a winter rye grass may help nourish the soil for your next planting.

Plan and the Plant. But that is several months (at least) away. Given the state of the economy, you may want to devote more space to a vegetable garden next year.
