I bought a home/garden that was developed by a master gardener. Its been two years and things I thought were prized have turned out to be wild grasses vines, wild violets, etc. Though I don't mind a touch of wilderness, its starting to overwhelm me. But I take a deep breath, work on a section at a time.
I am wondering though, as i clear up vines and overgrowths of wild violets, should I mulch now as I expose ground? Or wait till next year. I was thinking of planting perennials. (My job limits my time in the garden).
