More gardeners these days see the value of holding off on fall cleanup in ornamental beds, choosing instead to leave stems and seed heads for winter beauty and for providing cold-weather shelter to birds and beneficial insects. However, your vegetablegarden will still give you plenty of reasons to spend beautiful fall days puttering around outside. Whether you decide to tackle the bigger jobs in a single day or spread them out with an hour here and an hour there, you'll be doing important work. Thetime that you invest now can help prevent future pest and disease problems, build soil health and fertility, and make it easier to get an ealy star next spring.
