It’s officially spooky season, but don’t let the first frosts scare you out of the garden just yet. ❄️👻

Here are a few October garden tips from UNH Extension:

Plant garlic.

Put fallen leaves to work as mulch, add them to your compost pile, or leave some under trees and shrubs to break down naturally.

Clean up diseased plant material, but don’t overdo the fall cleanup. Healthy perennial stems, seedheads, and leaves can provide food and shelter for insects, birds, and other wildlife.

Clean and put away garden tools, containers, hoses, and irrigation equipment before freezing temperatures arrive. It’s also a great time to remove rust and sharpen pruners and loppers so they’re ready for winter pruning.

Dig and store tender bulbs and tubers like dahlias, cannas, and gladiolus once frost has ended their growing season.
