4 Ways to Winterize Your Garden

Aside from clearing up the last bits of lawn debris, there are many other things you can do to ensure your garden is winterized. 

1. Give your grass a last, final cut.
2. Use a mulching mower to cut the last of the leaves. If you don’t have one, rake them up. The worst thing is to leave whole leaves on the ground, which can result in dead patches in your lawn come springtime.
3. Protect those perennials, but beware of using too much mulch, which can attract mold and rodents.
4. As mentioned in an earlier post, be sure to get your spring bulbs into the ground now before the earth freezes.
