At news of an overnight frost warning, pick all tomatoes, peppers, squash and other veggies and store in a cool dark location. Tomatoes can be ripened in sealed heavy-duty paper shopping bags, with a sheet of newspaper between the layers, stored in a cool dark place. Pull the pumps from your garden pond. Drain and clean for winter storage. Install wire mesh guards of hardware cloth or chicken wire for your fruit trees and rose bushes.
Rabbits can girdle the trees and browse rose canes to the graft union.
Unless your garden pond is deep enough for your fish to winter there safely, remove them to an indoor tank. Bring plants that are not winter- hardy indoors to tubs or tanks. Sift finished compost to gain space in the compost box for later additions. Completely clear the garden of weeds before they drop their seeds and create a problem for next year. Store pesticides in a cool, dry, safe place.
