Perhaps most of this is well known to others, but I hadn't thought about how vulnerable so many weeds are right before winter sets in.

I have an over grown bed, about 600 ft^2/55m^2, that I was planning on tackling before the first freeze. It's such an overwhelming project, though. It's not exactly weeds so much as overly dense planting and overdue pruning. The main reason for doing it before the first freeze is to help differentiate what I want to keep or not.
