Mulching of plants 
is very important, 
and it is especially 
important that the 
mulch is put on at 
the right time. Many 
plants are smother¬ 
ed by not mulching 
at the right time. 
We generally mulch 
our plants about 
Christ mas time. 
Never cover the 
plants until the 
ground is frozen. 
This holds the frost 
in the ground, and 
there is not the dan¬ 
ger of heaving that 
comes during the 
early Spring months.
