Yep, full of leaves and dead stems from last year here too. I didn't get anything cleaned up in the fall. I typically let the leaves remain during the winter, but I'm kinda torn as to if I should or not. On one hand, it does provide a nice insulating blanket for the beds, but on the other, it also provides a very convenient place for rodents to live too. Previously I had more cats running around, but this winter I'm down to 2 cats, so I don't know if they've been able to keep up. Hoping the Lily bulbs haven't been feeding the rodents all winter
