Garden chores
Rain coming? Barrels ready
Do this: Clear your gutters and empty or hook up rain barrels, since every inch of rain gives about 0.5 gallon per square foot of roof.
Stock up on frost cloth
Do this: Buy frost cloth, clips and stakes now, before the first front sells out the stores.
Kill the vines, turn the soil
Do this: Pull and trash spent squash vines, and turn the soil so overwintering borer pupae are exposed.
