A Couple of Tips from Us!
Make sure you have all of your gardening tools and equipment cleaned and properly stored for winter.  Also, be sure to put some extra mulch on those items that you have planted that need a little extra warmth to protect them from winter's frost / snow.  Finally, use any disease-free potted plants to add to your compost pile...chop up the large sections and they'll give you added benefit next Spring.
