Are you going to cover your plants. I am debating I have a newly planted over a week, an Anemone and I can't decide if i still want to enjoy the blooms...I hope it comes back next year.I had put mulch around it. I have a few roses blooming but letting them go to rest,they did their job for the seasons. I have mums bloolming,butterfly bushes winding down and sedum. My Redtwig dogwood have just about all their leaves gone so now showing their red branches. I hate winter anymore we had snow and ice last year that i was stuck in my yard for 10 days. The guys got around on their tractors etc so I hope this year will be better.
