It would be nice to think we could take the winter off from worrying about weeds in our landscapes. Unfortunately, there are many weeds that thrive in the mild to cold temperatures of winter, both in our beds and in our lawn.
Don't forget to keep up with weeding this winter. Be proactive. Use mulches.
Mulches are our very best defense against weeds in our beds. Mulches work when the mulch layer is about 2". Mulch works by blocking sunlight from triggering weed seeds to germinate.
