Your garden is giving you useful information right now.
Before you clear everything away, take a few minutes to notice what this gardening season taught you. The guide will walk you through both the practical jobs to finish now and the questions worth asking before next year.
Wrap up the season
Work through a simple checklist for clearing finished plants, saving seeds, protecting the soil, extending what’s still growing, and taking stock before everything gets put away.
Look at what actually happened
Think about what you wanted more or less of, what was worth growing, whether your garden fit your life, and what didn’t go as planned.
Remember it for next year
Capture what you want to change about what you grow and the garden itself while the details are still fresh.
Don’t start next year’s garden from scratch.
You don’t need to plan next year’s garden yet.
You just need to make sure that when you do, you haven’t forgotten what this year’s garden taught you.
Take the guide outside while your garden is still in front of you, answer the five questions, and keep it somewhere you can come back to when it’s time to plan again.
