Vegetable, Fruit, and Herb Gardening in November

If you run out of sage or just want a different flavor, substitute savory or rosemary in your turkey dressing recipe.
And if you didn't get to it last month, remember.... Many disease-causing viruses overwinter in the roots of perennial weeds. Tomato mosaic virus overwinters in the roots of ground cherry, horsenettle, jimson weed, nightshade, and bittersweet; cucumber mosaic virus lives in the roots of milkweed, catnip, and pokeweed; bean mosaic overwinters in white sweet clover roots; and many cabbage diseases spread from wild members of the cole family. A good fall cleanup is essential. Don't wait!
Cut back raspberry canes that have grown too long, to prevent damage caused by winter winds.
Weave garlic, onions, or dried chilies together to create holiday wreaths with a gourmet twist.
Mulch straweberries with 4-6 inches of straw or hay for the winter. Apply this after the top half inch of soil is frozen. (usually after the temperature starts hovering around 25°F) Using tree leaves here is counterproductive unless you shred them... they will matt down when they get wet. The leaves will trap moisture and do not provide good insulation.

"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;
they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."
-- Marcel Proust
