This week Jeff and Jonathan discuss more ways to prep the garden for winter.  Make sure and turn the outdoor water faucets off (so they don’t freeze)!  Other topics include prepping the shed, transplanting perennials, and acting on soil test results.  As always, the guys wrap up the episode by answering listener questions.
