If you haven't already, now is the time to put away your motorized gardening equipment. Drain the gas and the oil, repair and replace any parts that need maintenance including filters and spark plugs, clean the dirt and grime away, cover and store it for the season.

Use tomato cages in flower pots to hold up plants that like to grow leggy and need extra support.
