For us, people who love gardening, fall is such a precious time, mainly because is the time were we can do cleaning and maintenance of our gardening tools, even if you live in the warmer climates south of the country, fall is the perfect timing to give good cleaning and maintenance to your tools even if you will continue to use them throughout the year. Those of us, who live in the cooler climates and won’t be using the tools for a while, this process also includes storing our precious tools.
