5 Tips for Winterizing Your Garden
As autumn winds down and temperatures begin to dip, gardeners face the challenge of preparing their plots for the months ahead. Winterizing isn’t just about keeping plants alive; it’s about setting the stage for a healthy, thriving garden once spring returns.
Freezing temperatures and shifting soil can put stress on root systems, drain nutrients, and create openings for pests to move in. Without some preparation, you may find yourself starting from scratch come planting season.
Timing matters: Most experts recommend tackling winter prep shortly before the first hard frost. This ensures plants and soil are protected just as the growing season officially ends.
It’s also important to remember that winterizing benefits more than just vegetables. Some perennials, shrubs, and ornamental plants need protection from fluctuating temperatures and heavy snow.
