i have done some googling and searching here & there.
i end up being told yes i should mulch then no i shouldnt
because then the plants dont harden up enough under the
mulch for the winter :(.
i live in zone 5 in southwestern, ontario, canada.
what i would like to know is should i mulch my flower beds as
i didnt get them done earlier this year and if so how late would
i be able to mulch them before it causes problems.
any input would be greatly appreciated ;).
also my brother asked me to thank you all for your input on his
grub problems. cyaaaaaaaaa, sockiescat:).

If mulching is done correctly it can be done anytime of year. Any time you
can get it there. Improper mulching can be injurious anytime of year.
