For the avid gardener, winter can be a tough time. Some may think that the slow decaying of their plants symbolically resembles the inevitability of death. Heavy stuff. However, this is a rather unhealthy way to look at winter's effects. Instead, gardeners should look at winter as the much awaited plant's siesta. Like any good childcare provider knows, everyone needs a nap once in awhile. The best thing that a gardener can do for their sleepy plants is to prepare them with everything they need for their nap time. There are several ways that you can prepare your plants for winter. In fact, winter is one of the best times to do some rearranging in the garden as well. Transplanting your perennial plants will do wonders for your garden, and it will be less harsh on your plants.
