I tried to save my plants by covering them this past week. We had 3 days below 30* and I just knew I could save them by simply covering my sweet plants. I was still getting tomatoes, peppers, and kale. Well after the 3 days below freezing I now only have kale. Everything else died. I was so hoping I could keep my tomatoes as they were still really producing until December. I picked all the tomatoes off the vine and brought them in to slowly ripen. I managed not to cry! Here’s 4 things you can do to get your garden ready for next year. <\/p>\n

1. Grab your clippers<\/span> out of your Sheds and Things<\/a> <\/strong>and cut back the plants that are still growing tall. <\/p>\n

2. Pull out all the tomato stakes, stakes and anything you are using to hold up your plants.<\/p>\n

3. Pull the old tall plants out and put them in your compost. <\/p>\n

4. Mow the rest of the garden down after you’ve removed all the big limbs, plants, etc. <\/p>\n

If you know what your garden needs, mulch, nitrogen, etc<\/span> then go ahead and put that down too. Whatever you can do now that will help you have a good garden next year you need to do. I love the veggies I get out of my garden every year and I will do my best to get my garden ready so I have a good crop next year. What do you do<\/span> to prepare your garden for next year?<\/p>\n
