Get Ready - Get ready
for winter. Blanch rest of endive. Bank celery, to be used before
Christmas,
where it is.
Preserve
- Gather tomatoes, melons, etc., to keep as long as possible
or preserve them on the way you like. Keep especially clean and well
cultivated
all crops to be wintered over. Late in the month store cabbage and
cauliflower;
also beets, carrots, and other root crops. Get boxes, barrels, bins,
sand
or other packaging material ready beforehand, to save time in packing.

garden; store poles, etc., worth keeping over; burn everything else
that
will not rot; and compost everything that will.

By
creating a healthy garden
and lifestyle you will regain energy levels, help restore your immune
system
and give yourself and your family the best chance of living long, happy
& healthy lives.
Over
countless centuries
gardeners have been keen observers of nature, noticing how plants
perform
depending on their surroundings. When people discovered combinations
that
worked well or observed the relationship a particular plant had with
certain
insects, their experiences were passed on to the next generation.
Laboratory
research can now
prove that certain plants contain insecticides. There are many proven
examples
of plants that benefit others, such as French Marigolds that can be
used
to clear the ground of nematodes. The nematodes are attracted to the
roots
of the Marigold where they are unable to breed. The next generation of
nematodes are greatly reduced or eliminated. This is an effective
method
of protection for a crop susceptible to nematodes - such as tomatoes -
especially if the Marigolds are planted heavily in an area a season
before
planting the desired crop. ORDER
