Fall garden tips from Iowa horticulturist Holsinger
Horticulturist C. V. Holsinger of Iowa State College offers fall garden advice. Raspberries with new lateral growth may root if covered with soil. prune raspberries after frost or in mid March. Fall strawberries require extra work and may not overwinter well. radishes are still good before freezing. End-season ground care: remove root crops, apply manure, turn ground rough to be ready two weeks before spring work.
