"must do" for fall gardening

as fall quickly approaches and you are getting ready to put your garden away for the season, remember some simple rules for next year.  one thing that helps me remember what to do for next year is keeping a journal with sketches.  what worked, what didn't, what needs more water, what needs more sun...writing down and sketching things is tremendously helpful for next years harvest to be bigger and better.  another important thing that will be beneficial is removal of all dead, dying or disease plant material.  you want to start the spring with a clean slate so to speak.  you can also cover your soil with cloth, straw or another ground cover depending on what you want to use the soil for the following year.  this would also be a good time to add to your compost bin or start one from scratch.  i am not going to go into composting in this post however look for one in a future post.  as with anything in life simplifying, organizing and planning will go a long way for you and make your life easier in the spring.  there are tons of web resources, books and blogs for you to peruse.  if you are a novice or even an expert, let me suggest on of the finest resources you can have that won't cost you a penny (unless your late), a library card. 

so get out your journal and a pen, write down your ideas and experiences and as always
happy gardening.
