I always try to clean up the garden before the first frost, because I HATE pulling off mushy plant leaves. They actually make me want to vomit :) Probably why I can't eat cooked spinach.

And we get freezing temperatures way before we get a good covering of snow, and I feel sorry for the perennials without their raggedy summer garments to keep them warm.
