You can start brushing the mulch away when you see growths like above, probably about late March. While you are at it, you can apply a tsp of bulb fertilizer to feed the peonies then. The mulching is helpful in zone 6 or above. Warmer zones probably need a different approach.


Oh! Look at that! I can't wait to see some which, hopefully, I will! We had our first real snow today--my car is covered in white, but the ground isn't. I just finished my garden work today too (while it was snowing!). So I'm glad I mulched, and I'm very happy for everyone's help here too. Thank you!
You don't kick walls down, you pull the nails out and let them fall.
