The Garden Bug: Autumn Garden Tasks

By Brenda Weaver

• If frost is forecast, cover tender plants, such as tomatoes, cucumbers and squash. It doesn't take much to damage or kill them.

• Finish harvesting, and dry, freeze and/or can your fruits and vegetables.

• Start saving your seeds of vegetables, flowers, and herbs.

• Divide perennials, replant and/or share with friends.

• Bring houseplants in from outdoors; check for bugs and diseases, and apply controls.

• Stop fertilizing roses, and remove dead blooms and foliage.
