Hi all,
Have been cutting back furiously the last few weeks taking advantage of the
nice weather. Looks like the rest of this week will bring temps in the high
40s, low 50s here in Zone 6. Usually, I leave much standing for winter
interest, however, I have had zillions of voles and have lost a number of
choice plants. So, this year I thought I would redo the habitat of those
nasty little critters to see if that discourages them. I do feed the birds
humongous amounts of seed throughout the winter, so I don't feel too bad
cutting things back. This way I can also see the bones of the garden, which
is helpful in the overall design of the gardens.
Anyway, I would be interested in how others treat putting gardens to bed.
When do you do it? What do you leave standing? Why? Please share your
thoughts.
Thanks,
Ginny
