Good yard sanitation in the fall is as important to year-long plant health as proper planting, watering, fertilizing and pruning are. This is particularly true for next year’s crop of vegetables and fruit. Remove or cut back all the plants in the vegetable garden that are done for the season.

After funding fell out more than once, they’re at it again, and a tentative offer of over one million dollars has been offered for the space.
