It’s that time of year again. Time to put the garden to bed.  If you have a vegetable garden be sure to mix some compost or other soil enhancer into your beds after you have removed the plants.  It is always wise to toss tomato plants away, be it in nearby woods or onto the curbside pick-up.  Sometimes they can have a blight which can contaminate the soil for the next years’ crop.  Cut back herbs such as oregano, thyme, winter savory.  If you grow mint, be sure to prune that very radically – it can take over in no time.  Now it’s time to savor the yields and look forward to next year.
