I have a Little Rock garden (4'x18") beneath a spreading crabapple facing west. It actually does well but every year it is covered in leaves from the tree. In the spring I start getting the wet leaves out from on top of my little plants. I was thinking of putting a little canopy over them to reduce the chance of rotting in the spring. I have lost only one or two tiny plants thus far. I could even leave it all winter as when the wind blows it brings in leaves from other places. Any thoughts?
Oh, I live in Anchorage, Alaska
