How do I winterize my garden?

To winterize your garden, you should start by cleaning up any plant debris left over from summer. This will help reduce the chances of disease and pests over the winter. Once you’ve cleaned up the area, you should add a layer of mulch, such as straw or leaves, to protect your plants and keep the soil moist. Make sure to water your plants well before the cold weather sets in. If necessary, you can also add a cold frame or some evergreen branches to provide extra warmth and protection. Finally, check on your garden every few weeks during the winter to make sure everything is in good shape.
