Hey, mountain gardeners, Ken Lain here! The end of the year doesn't mean the end of gardening! Here in the mountains, it's the perfect time to prepare your garden for a stunning comeback next spring. Think of it like tucking your garden in for a long winter's nap.

Start by cleaning up any fallen leaves and spent plants. This prevents diseases from overwintering in your garden. It's a bit like washing the sheets before you crawl into bed for a good night's sleep.

Next, plant those perennials and shrubs you've been eyeing. The cool soil temperatures allow roots to establish themselves before the summer heat hits. It's like giving them a good breakfast before a big day!

Don't forget to protect your plants from the cold with a cozy layer of mulch. Think of it as a warm blanket for your garden beds. And be sure to water any newly planted trees and shrubs – they need a good drink before their winter rest.
