After the threat of last frost, pull away all shriveled, dried, and brown foliage from the previous season. If any plants perished through the winter, get rid of those, too. Remove any mulch that was applied as a winter protectant to allow rapid new growth to occur. Be careful not to step on any new growth. Spring cleaning beds is quite easy if a little fall cleaning was done prior. This is also an opportune time to apply weed control products and plan new plantings.
