Gardeners Weigh What to Cut Back in Fall Cleanup

Original: What to cut back and what to leave standing in your garden’s fall cleanup

Advice columns syndicated across multiple US outlets urge gardeners to cut back diseased plants and spent annuals in autumn while leaving stems of perennials, ornamental grasses and seed-bearing flowers standing for wildlife habitat and winter interest. Writers recommend removing only what risks spreading disease, letting hardier growth protect soil and feed birds through the cold months.

Why now: It is fall in the Northern Hemisphere, when gardeners plan their end-of-season cleanup.
