Thanks for the advice on mulching, I think I must have had the mulch on to
close.

Well we get down to about -20 most winters so even though it says zone 6,
many of my plants do not make it unless they are zone 5 or more. My place
is in a valley and we get colder than other areas of RI. I used to live in
Warwick(30 miles north) and could grow plants there that I can't grow here.
