Any vegetable garden slows down as winter approaches and being proactive when it comes to preparing it for the cold weather will reap dividends come spring. There are still crops to harvest over the winter, but an increased focus can go into preparing beds for next year.
While you are busy in the summer with sowing, planting, feeding, weeding, and harvesting, the fall and winter can be more relaxed. It does not mean there are not important tasks to do and I spent many days clearing beds, mulching, harvesting, and more throughout winter when working as a kitchen gardener.
