Video: Late Season Garden Tasks

When the weather gets colder in the fall, it’s easy to think the garden season is over and you can head indoors. Not so fast! In this week’s video, I take you along while I handle some important late season garden tasks.

I’ll be bringing delicate garden art and glass rain gauges indoors so they won’t break from the freeze-thaw cycles.

I’ll take steps to prevent critter damage from gophers, voles and deer over the winter. Here’s a link to a source for MoleMax. It’s a product that repels certain types of rodents. There are other brand names for this product containing castor oil-coated granules. Just remember it’s not for use on or around edible crops.

Always check the label on products to make sure they’re safe to use in the vegetable garden.

You’ll also get a sneak peek of the winter garden, which is growing in our small hoop house. And you will also hear why I don’t clean up flowers or leaves this time of year. Yup, there are plenty of garden tasks to accomplish these days!

I hope this video will jog your memory of some things you don’t want to forget! Once you complete your fall garden tasks, you can relax and start dreaming about next year’s garden.
