The mild fall weather across most of the country will allow us to squeeze out the last few weeks of the fall gardening season. Soon enough we'll have to let our plants get a well deserved rest for the winter. But if you want to get a head start on spring, consider doing a few more last minute tasks in the garden NOW.

It's not too late to remove any diseased foliage and it's the perfect time to make sure your cold frame is ready to go when you need it next spring. (Or to build one if you forgot about it during your busy summer.)
