Vegetables, Fruits, and Herbs

• 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!
