In the garden, that is. Harvests have peaked, and will continue to trickle onwards a bit for the next month. Then comes cleanup, setup, and planting those things which can overwinter.
I just found the best wiki ever- Practical Plants
You can set search parameters by hardiness zone, soil type, amount of sun received, and more. Then, you hit 'go' and find the plant that fits what you needs. There's a list at the bottom of the page, organized by uses (such as adhesives, poultices, jam, soap, paper, paint, etc). The list is extensive.
Also, starting now you can do soil tests, soil amendments, and set up raised beds. I'm thinking about ordering some soil test packages just for interest's sake. I'd like to know the NPK (nitrogen, phosphate and potassium) levels in my backyard and veggie garden.
