As we say goodbye to those hot summer days, it is now time to begin preparing your garden for the cooler weather. A drop in temperature is likely to leave your once pretty garden looking dry and tired. Don't let it become completely ruined. Here are some tips about cleaning it up for the fall and winter months.

When removing some of your plants out, be sure that plenty of their seeds fall on the ground. This will guarantee that they will come up next year. You can also let flowerheads ripen and dry on the stalks – letting the seeds spread over the ground then mulch lightly.

Great reseeders include: poppes, alyssum, sunflowers, coreopsis, flax, dill, and bachelor buttons.

Recommendation: get rid of any plants with diseases, pests, and any leaves with black spots.

To restore a bed for spring planting:

1. Clear all debris
2. Plow the soil
3. Lay down fertilizer
4. Till again
5. Smooth with a garden rake

There are a few plants that will give your yard those beautiful fall colors. The common plant is called chrysanthemums (also known as mums). In addition to mums, you can try planting ornamental peppers.
