Fall Clean-up

I spent a good part of the weekend getting my yard ready for the upcoming winter. On Saturday I took four bags of cuttings to the compost sight south of town and after work today I took another three. I have found it always works better if I cut the perennials back in the fall rather than trying to do it in the spring. This is only the beginning...raking will no doubt follow. I try to wait until the maple trees across the street have lost their leaves because they always seem to end up in my front yard!
