As much as I've been trying to ignore all of you who keep saying summer is coming to an end, it's September and the reality is that it'll be freezing cold and snowy in Chicago before we know it. This morning I realized that HGTV no longer has the 7am garden show. There is no denying it - our gardening days are limited.

Prior to this year, my preparation for winter has consisted of moving my coats, hats, gloves and scarfs from the the back of my closet to the front of my closet. This year I have this damn garden to protect. The future of 26 pink hedge roses lie in my hands. The Belle of Georgia Peach Tree I planted for Mr. W must survive the winter! Okay okay, enough with the histrionics. But seriously, I need your help!

I was hoping you seasoned gardeners would share your fall cleanup and winter preparation (or whatever you call it) routine with me.
