All of our gardening spaces are different, but here is what I’d do irregardless of where you live before the fall is over:
-pull vines to go into yard waste collection. Vines often carry fungi or diseases and aren’t great for composting. Don’t leave them in the dirt or put on a compost pile
-add some kind of soil amendments to break down over the winter: worm castings, bone meal, compost. Your soil needs something to replenish it and the winter breaks everything down slowly.
-add in some leaves to each bed, and cover with a layer of dirt. It’ll be great compost by spring.
-throw out/recycle any broken equipment so you have less to do in the spring. Broken pots, faulty tools, old feed bags, broken trellises or cages.
-put all your seed packets in one spot so you don’t buy triple next spring 🤣
