Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Thursday, November 4th:

• Cooler temperatures means digging out those winter time duds. The perfect time to schedule a clothing swap with some friends! Their kids are outgrowing what your kids will soon be able to fit into! One of my favorite winter jackets I got from a friend’s growing son!
• Love to shop with friends? Think of it as a carpool and do it more often to save gas!

Though many people gear up to work on their yards and gardens in the spring or summer, fall is actually an ideal time for yard work. Here’s a couple ideas for bringing your garden to life in the fall: By the time autumn rolls around, summer heat waves are long past, especially in Vermont. Rainfall is usually more plentiful, especially if we use today as a gage and new trees, bushes and flowers have a greater chance of surviving than they would if they were planted during a hotter season. Choose species native to your area as well as those that are drought and pest resistant and can grow in the kind of soil and amount of sunlight available on your property. In otherwords, don’t be afraid to ask questions at Agway or whereever you buy your greenery. Fall is also a perfect time because garden centers are often running specials this time of year. Gardening in the Autumn means saving money! Those leaves on the ground make the ideal ingredients for Springtime soil if you compost them now! So, don’t bag’em, compost ‘em!
