As we head into the last week of August, summer is beginning to fade along with my tomato plants, the once vibrant green patio chairs and the summer highlights in my hair. As much as I hate to see the season end, you can send it off with a bang (not a whimper) with these great tips from our Home and Garden Guides.

In the Spotlight | Preserve the Harvest
I have enough tomatoes to sink a passenger ship. In fact, it's so bad that whenever someone sees me approaching, tomatoes in hand, they run screaming. And the neighbor kids call me "Tomato Lady". I guess that's why they invented canning.

| Refinish A Wood Deck Before Winter
We once moved into a house where the previous owners had let the back deck fend for itself against the winter snows. It lost a few steps and some boards rotted away. I felt bad for the deck, never mind that we couldn't use it once summer arrived. So do yourself a favor and refinish the deck while the sun still shines.
