Be sure not to store apples or pears with vegetables. The
fruits give off ethylene gas which speeds up the breakdown of
vegetables
and will cause them to develop off flavors.
Remove all dead fruit from
fruit trees and rake up and destroy
all of those on the ground, and add them to the compost pile. Good sanitation practices
reduce reinfestation of insects and diseases the following season.
Clean power tools of all plant material and dirt. Replace worn spark
plugs, oil all necessary parts, and sharpen blades. Store all tools in their
proper place indoors.
Order seed catalogs now for garden planning in
January. For variety, consider
companies that specialize in old and rare varieties or wild flowers.
