Hi all,

I have a small (15 sqft) raised bed garden which I planted for the first
time this past summer. I've pulled up most of what was in there except for
a perennial lavender I have in one corner. Can anyone recommend some kind
of ground cover to plant for the winter? Or should I just mulch it? Just
don't want to lose that precious soil I've got in there.

I'm in Boston, zone 6A.

Thanks for any advice you can give!

Laura

It's allready freezing, mulch it with shredded leaves or topdress with compost.
