From the Editor;

The year is winding down but there is still a lot going on in the garden. The fall display of flowers and butterflies make efforts put forth during the hot dry summer worthwhile. Fall vegetable gardens are providing harvest that the pilgrims would envy. It’s always a good idea to mulch garden beds for winter protection and to deter winter and early spring weeds. Don’t forget to prepare container plants for their migration to the greenhouse or indoors. This is a bustling time of year and cooler weather invites outdoor activities so take advantage of the season before it slips away.

The Brazos County Master Gardeners are planning another great year of seminars and programs to educate and inspire good gardening. We look forward to seeing you in 2010.
