Fall Gardening
The frost is on the pumpkin in some parts of the country, apples are in season, and farmers are finishing up their harvests -- so how did your garden grow? In this segment, we'll talk about fall gardening, from crops that can be planted now, to what you can do now to prepare your garden for next year. We'll also take a close look at the mysteries of the compost heap. Can a little planning and a little effort turn waste into valuable fuel for your garden?
