It is time for another monthly list of things we can be doing in our gardens or to prepare for our gardens for the next growing season.

• Recycle your leaves.

Mow over dry leaves and rake them up for mulch, spread directly on garden beds, or stockpile some for making compost during the winter months. Set up a mobile compost bin directly in the garden.
