Individuals who don’t
live near the equator or in
another warm climate know
that winter will rear its
chilly head this year. Cold
temperatures and snowy
conditions may be excellent
for skiing and sledding, but
gardeners recognize these
conditions are not ideal for
their plants.
The inevitable slowing
of activity in the garden
during fall marks a time to
shift attention from constant
plant care to preparing the

Prepare your garden for winter’s onslaught

landscape for next season. It

may be tempting to simply

let Mother Nature take over,

but a little pre-winter TLC

can ensure gardens make it

through winter unscathed.

Remove spent plants

Decomposing organic

material is the basis

for compost and other

fertilizers. However,

vegetable plants that are left

to sit can lead to decay in

the garden. Decaying plants

can serve as hosts for pest

populations and diseases.

Rotting vegetables also can

drop unwanted seeds into

the soil, which eventually

can strip nutrients that

normally would go to next

year’s crops.

Ornamental plants and

perennials can be cut back

in fall. Cut down stalks and

remove leaves.

Plant a cover crop

The gardening resource

This Is My Garden

recommends planting a

cover crop to set the stage

for a successful spring. A

cover crop protects the soil

and can return nutrients

to it. When the soil is bare

during winter, weed seeds

can easily blow in and lie in

wait , ultimately becoming a

problem during the ensuing

year. Cover crops can

include clover or field peas,

which will increase the

levels of available nitrogen.

Amend the soil

Fall is a perfect time to

add soil amendments, such

as manure and compost.

These fertilizers will add

nutrients and break down

gradually, enriching the soil

over the winter.

Replenish mulch

Gardeners may have

added mulch around shrubs

and other areas of the

landscape early in the season

because it is attractive. But

mulch also does much to

reduce water loss and protect

the soil from erosion. It may

inhibit weed growth as well.

Replacing mulch when the

mercury drops can insulate

the soil, which helps to

regulate soil temperature. A

thick layer of mulch around

root vegetables left in the

garden can offer protection

against hard frosts.

Divide bulbs

Divide plant bulbs and

plant them where you want

flowers like daffodils and

tulips to grow in the spring.

Prune dormant plants

Wait until plants are

dormant to prune them and

adjust their shape. Most

shrubs and trees should be

pruned in late winter, right

before new growth.

Move potted plants

Bring delicate plants

into a sheltered area, such

as a greenhouse or indoor

garage, so they can continue

to thrive during the winter.

Fall and winter still

provide opportunities to

spend time in the garden.

At this point in the year,

gardeners can prepare

landscapes for the next

season.

Adding a layer of mulch around plants can insulate

roots and the soil against hard frosts.
