The vegetable garden in December
|
The festive season is upon us again, and thankfully it's not the busiest time of year in the garden. What with the poor weather, and Christmas shopping writing off most weekends, we'll be lucky to even step foot into the garden. If you get the chance to get out between the showers, the first job that need tackling is tidying the beds and removing leaves. If the weather is too bad, then take the time to clean and oil your tools and machinery, to keep the rust away. It could be a good time to compile a list of replacements from Santa.
