Before you put down the mulch you should lay down either the expensive cloth they have at the hardware/home and garden stores (semi-porous so rains don't accumulate) or thick layers of newspaper. Otherwise the most tenacious weeds will come right on up through the mulch.
I'm really just trying to cut down on the weeds... I know there are a lot of bulbs in those beds, but they've been drastically out-competed by the weeds.
So if I just mulch, and try to get out to weed periodically, it'll help, I hope. Besides, I'm going to be re-building the patio this summer, I think, so I'd rather not put TOO much effort into a garden that's going to be a different shape in two months. 8-)
