Well, the snow is almost gone, and it is time to get outside.
If you mulched your perennials and shrubs for the winter, it is time to start taking that mulch off the plants. If you used salt marsh hay, you should take about half off this weekend and the other half off in about a week. This will allow the plants to acclimate to the warmer temperatures. You can also spread out the bark mulch if you used that as mulch. Again, take back about half now and the other half in about a week. If the mulch remains at its winter thickness, it will slow down the rate at which the soil warms up. Now, we want the soil to warm up. Let's get those plants growing!
