So, up here in the not-yet-frozen North, gardening (as we know it) has come to screeching halt; 2 hard frosts and a LOT more in the wings. There are still things to be done - mostly involving leaves and shredding then mulching with them.
The semp beds are covered for the winter with shadecloth - already keeping bushels of leaves out of them. This will make opening up for next season a lot easier.
When do the rest of we semp-freaks put the gardens to bed? Any tricks/tips to share?
