As the frost kills plants, remove them. Annuals should be dug up or pulled out by their roots. Perennials, except for roses, should be cut off an inch or two above the groud. Put undiseased plant material in a compost pile, chopping up large pieces. If plant material is diseased, put it on a special, seperate pile to prevent disease from spreading.
