Great article, Chris! But I have to say I'm on team spring cleanup... All of the fallen leaves mulch our gardens for the harsh winter ahead, and honestly, I keep my gardens going as long as possible. I'm very reluctant to put it to bed before it's time... and in the spring, DH and I can't wait to get out there and clean, prune, plant, and build. So for me, fall is a time to just enjoy the last days of the garden, and spring is the time to re-new, re-build, clean up and plant.
