Preparing the garden for the winter

The most important work in preparing a garden is done in the fall, not in the spring.  We have emptied the compost bins and put yard waste in large piles on the garden.  This will complete the decay of the compost and it will be ready to mix into the garden and pots in the spring. 
As you can see here we still have peas and green peppers producing as we still await the first frost.
