How Do you Put Your Garden to Sleep?



Appreciating Simplicity and Fresh Food

Any Foodie, Chef or my favorite Foodie Chef Anthony Bourdain will share that fresh ingredients are a must in any dish, therefore, gardens are a must.

Three simple steps to put your garden to bed in the best way possible for the winter:

1. Cut back any plants that sleep for the winter (which means anything that isn’t green, a shrub, or a tree).

2. Rake around the plants to clear away any the cut off plants, leaves, and other debris.

3. Lay a nice layer of mulch or organic compost around the plants.
