This year's growing season was longer than most are used to. Along with a delayed arrival of disruptive frost, there's still time to tend to your autumn gardens.
Tidying up for the season is at the front of mind for most gardeners. Raking and pruning some of the annual plants can be added to the list, but also consider leaving certain plants that could provide winter habitation and protection for some of the birds that spend the season here.
Tips for Hardy Gardeners can be heard every other Tuesday morning on Northland Morning.
