What are the steps to take before the winter comes to end a garden?

Winterizing a Garden is a way of keeping plants, soil, tools and garden beds alive in cold weather. This question can cover pruning, mulching, covering plants, removing dead growth, and preparing soil for the next season. It comes in handy for seasonal conversation, and can lure gardeners to set their sights for the upcoming winter.

Clean up dried plants and weeds, harvest remaining vegetables, remove diseased vegetation and apply a layer of compost or mulch over the soil to feed it through the winter months. Also wash and store away all gardening equipment, cover frost-sensitive plants and dissect any plant debris.

Before winter ends, clean up dead plants, remove weeds, add compost or mulch, prune damaged branches, and prepare soil for spring planting. These steps help protect your garden and encourage healthy growth in the next season.
