My suggestions are...Look at the seed catalogs, plan your gardens for the next growing season, research plants or seeds you want to grow, start you a notebook with notes about these plants etc, make lists of things you will need and come here and chat with your garden friends. [thumb]

Dont for get test your soil to see what amendments it's going to need. I know I'm going to need alkaline soil for the chinese laterns I want. I just have to have them. I hope they will handle mostly compost. That's about the closest to alkaline I have at the moment. Look in the seed exchange several people are willing to take postage for seeds. Like me I have an excess of seeds lol. Mostly due to the nice people here in the forum.

I live in Alabama but i am sure this will apply to more areas of the country. Work on the compost pile or bin. I put leaves and grass clippings in mine along with my horse manure. I have a chipper and chip up stuff for next season. I hope this helps.
