Our wintry wet weather has finally broken for the moment and I went for a walk around the yard.

I found lots of mud and sticks and a few little sprouts peeking out from the muck.

And lots of pruning and clean up needs to be done! So I found a good "To Do" list for the March garden from the Chicago Botanic Garden (I think this would be for Zone 5 gardens).

I was wondering specifically when to take the protective mulch off the perennial bed--we may still have a freeze and they may need protection from that, but it's looking like a soggy mess out there and maybe if I took the mulch off the plants would be happier. Any thoughts?

What's on your 'To Do' List for this month?? (Only a few more days to get it done!)
