Clearing the garden for winter

Winter weather has hit the west side of Chicago with full force.  The cold temperatures were the final death blow to most of the summer crops, like tomatoes and eggplants.  It's time to clear them out for the winter, since pests and diseases can overwinter on rotting plant material.

Robert and Tyshaun pull up eggplant plants.

Robert ponders the root system of a plant.

Tyshaun transports the plant material to the compost pile.
