❄️ Protect Sensitive Plants: Wrap vulnerable plants with burlap or frost cloths to shield them from harsh temperatures.
❄️ Mulch Heavily: Apply a thick layer of mulch around your plants to insulate the soil and roots from freezing temperatures.
❄️ Prune Perennials: Cut back dead foliage and prune perennials to promote healthy growth in spring.
❄️ Clean Up Debris: Remove fallen leaves and debris to prevent the growth of fungi and pests.
❄️ Drain Irrigation Systems: Prevent pipe bursts by draining water from irrigation systems, hoses, and faucets.
❄️ Check Structures: Inspect and repair any garden structures, such as trellises, fences, or sheds, to ensure they withstand winter weather.
❄️ Plan for Spring: Lastly, use the quieter winter months to plan your spring garden. Research plants, design ideas, and new garden projects.
