I plant a herb every year, Its great to have fresh herbs when the recipe calls for them. So easy too in small spaces..Evey year I find myself trying new ones....and making the garden abit larger. This year I plan to add flowers and afew berry bushes at each end...This will make it more pleasing to the eye. What do you think? Thanks so much! happy gardening, Shanna.

Unfortunately, there's not a lot you can do at this point to protect that foliage. Either way, the leaves which have sprouted will most likely dieback with the cold weather that is certain to still come. Placing a tarp over the growth is actually not recommended unless there are actual <strong>flower buds</strong> appearing. The problem with unnecessarily covering the plants is that it will trap the warmth which caused the bulbs to sprout in the first place. This will result in even MORE growth. Therefore, I encourage you to leave the foliage be unless it begins to produce flower buds. Hope this helps! and thanks for reading! Bridget Hi there!
