When do I lay mulch in my flower garden?

I just put in some plants and blubs yesterday in my garden. Almost all of them are still under the dirt. Do I still put the mulch down now or do I wait until they pop up above the dirt? If I can put it down now, will the plants come through the mulch?

Should have had the mulch on hand before you began. By plants I assume you mean seeds? If they were container plants it is different. By bulbs, do you mean Summer/Fall bulbs? Get back to gjgjobs@yahoo.com. The question needs more specifics as to what was planted and what type of mulch you plan to use. I know I can help you.
Reply:Wait until they come up, i think, because mulch is supposed to stop things from growing.

Reply:It depends on the mulch. You might want to wait until some of the plants are coming up. Or you can just put a light layer of mulch now and add more later.
Reply:I would put the mulch down now, they will pop up through it. The reason being you want to keep the weeds out, keep the soil cool. Save on water . Later it is harder to get in where you want it once the plants come up. Norma
