Thank

Take them out of the bags, and spread them over your vegetable garden.
Run over them with the lawn mower to chop them up. Cover with manure. If
you have a tiller, go ahead and till it. Consider covering with a tarp.
When the ground unthaws, and is no longer wet, till in some more manure.
By the time you start planting your tomato and pepper starts, they'll be
decomposed, and contributing to the soil. Unless those leaves get mixed
with some soil, they're not going to decompose much at all in or out of
the bags.
