Anyway, I'm not planning on covering or mulching unless someone more
experienced on the List shouts at me! If you're worried that your
newbies will suffer a set-back, you could certainly mulch the beds with
straw or pine needles or dry leaves, whatever you have. Just be sure to
get that cleaned out before the temps start really warming up in the
spring or you may have a lot of rot &/or borers to contend with.
