Hi Lisa,
There would be woodchips galore if I had a chipper/shredder here... but it doesn't make good mulch for us with our short and cool season and our wood loving pests.
Garlic can survive the winters here without mulch, but of course mulch is better.
Our forecast is looking pretty crappy, with highs getting up to 1 C only next week (normals are high of 5C and low -1C, we have been way below normal the past weeks). I doubt the snow cover will melt in a hurry even if it rains. If the wind holds off for a change, I may be able to get some leaves on... on top of the snow.
