As I mentioned in last week’s column, we had a snowstorm the last weekend in October in New Hampshire.  Although this snowstorm gave an early taste of winter, it is decidedly still fall in the northeast.  Our daytime temperatures are back to the 50s, and as the snow melts, the leaf-covered lawns remind us that it is only the start of November.

In addition to the typical raking, depending on your yard, there are an assortment of tasks that need to be done.  I spent part of last weekend pulling plants out of the garden, trimming flowering shrubs, and moving potted herbs indoors.  Living in New England, our outdoor gardening and landscaping season is nearing its end.  Of course, that doesn’t mean that gardening itself has to be on hiatus until spring.  There are several options for indoor gardening.

Our gardening and landscaping publication, Little Bit of Green, has done a fabulous job of providing tips for both fall clean-ups and indoor gardening opportunities.  It also is a great source of information for seasonal fruits and vegetables.  Whether you live in the chilly north where your green thumb has moved indoors or you live in a more temperate climate, Little Bit of Green has interesting articles to keep your garden going.

As for me, I think it is time to work on our indoor herb garden.  I need a little green after all of the white we saw last week!
