Welcome to my website. My name is Mary Patel, and I just finished winterizing my garden. I love gardening and have become quite adept at preparing and preserving my plants and flowers over the winter. We have frigid winters where I live. My garden has to endure frost, snow, and even some below zero temperatures. I start stocking up on my winter supplies during the summer. I purchase mulch, wire mesh fencing, burlap, and more mulch.

I hope you find my tips to be helpful and that you can preserve your garden during cold weather.
