Allotments 4 All

  I have a 3 year old crown that I planted this year. It has about 3 ferns growing on it.

  Do I need to cut these down? or do I need to cover them up in the winter, as you can tell really new to this .

  Any help would be appreciated

  Thanks  x Chas

Hi Charlie,i would leave it as it is(myself) then when it has died down of its own accord cover the ground area with a good wad of straw.This will (a) provide a bit of winter protection and (b)mark the area it is in and remind you not to tread in that area,thus preventing damaged growth for next year.hth Paul 

  thank you so  much will do as you suggest
