Bulbs of garlic, groups of gourds and collections of carrots are moving into and out of Vermont gardens in October. But what to do with all those autumn leaves? Charlie Nardozzi has tips and answers to your fall gardening questions on "Vermont Edition."

It's officially fall, but don't lock that garden shed just yet. Gardening guru Charlie Nardozzi joins Vermont Edition to talk about fall plantings, pruning perennials, and five things to do with all those leaves. Plus, what you can do to put your garden to rest this autumn and prepare your plants and soil for a productive season next year. 

Other topics Charlie plans to address are: fall plantings of garlic, shallots, and bulbs; forcing bulbs in containers; new thinking on cutting back perennial flowers in the fall; protecting shrubs and perennials during the winter; and how to take care of plants that have migrated indoors.

Broadcast live on Monday, Oct. 14, 2019 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
