Harvest and immediately dry filberts and walnuts at 95 degrees
Place mulch over roots of marginally hardy plants for winter protection.
Clean, sharpen, and oil tools and equipment before storing for winter.
Prune out dead fruiting canes in raspberries.
Planting/Propagation
Dig and divide rhubarb. (about every 4 years.)
Propagate chrysanthemums, fuchsias, and geraniums by stem cuttings.
Plant garlic.
Save seeds from the vegetable and flower garden. Dry, date, label, and keep cool and dry.

Control weeds while small. Hand weeding and weeding tools are particularly effective now.
