Anyone else putting their gardens to bed?
#1
After Hurricane Irene came through, most of my gardens, which were starting to die off, basically were whipped. So, we're starting to cut the gardens back & put them to bed for the long winter months here in NY.
I'm also drying any herbs that made it.
Does anyone here start this early?

We mow everything down and then till it all under. Next spring we will till again and then replant. Although next spring we are only growing flowers due to drought the last 2 summers. No point in planting veggies. We live in the country and are on a well so we can't water everything that we grow.

I garden in the south east of england,I have been digging out plants and saving seeds for next sprinhg, ina few weeks the dahlia and tender plants like geraniums will be lifted and taken indoors.Last winter was the coldest for years and I lost quite a few large plants like my 15ft palm. i'm hoping it won't be so bad this winter.
