What to do in the Garden in December

Filed under: calendar — Tags: — TopVeg @ 9:01 pm

What to do in the garden in December depends on the weather &, more particularly, on how wet the ground is.  It is not good to tread on wet soil, because it ruins the soil structure.

In December sow:

set-onion-on-mark

In December crop:

  • celery
  • leeks
  • parsnips
  • sprouts
  • cabbages
  • Jerusalem artichokes
  • spinach beet

In December protect from cold winds & frost (with fleece or cloches):

  • bay
  • rosemary
  • marjoram

December is a good time to browse catalogues to see what vegetable seeds & plants are on offer, when it is too wet to get on the garden in December.
