make the garden ready tor winter after all the crops have been removed from the truck garden it Is a good plan to remove all vines dead plants and other trash and sow the ground to rye or some other green crop this will prevent the earth from washing and the green material will improve the physical condition of the soil it the garden is not sown to some crop and if the soil Is not subject to washing etow or spade it and let the ground he rough through the winter this practice permits the frost to kill insects as well as to lighten the soil by alternate freezing and thawing many gardeners plow the ground and apply coarse manure
