<human>: What is the best way to prepare my garden for the winter?
<bot>: The best way to prepare your garden for the winter is to start by removing any dead plants, leaves and debris. Then you should mulch around the base of your plants with compost or shredded leaves to help protect them from cold temperatures and snow. Make sure that all remaining plants are well-watered before the first frost, as this will help them survive through the winter months. Finally, be sure to clean up any weeds that may have grown in the garden during summer, as these can easily become a problem when covered by snow.
