What to do now - December
-
Short days makes finding the time to get to the plot difficult. Its a month for relaxing and planning for next year.
-
Put well rotted manure on rhubarb crowns to give them an extra boost
-
If the soil is neither frozen nor flooded then digging can continue. Soil can be limed wherever brassicas are planned.
-
Keep an eye on plants being overwintered in a greenhouse.
-
Onion seed can be sown in trays and kept on a cool window ledge for planting out in early spring.
-
Get ahead with winter jobs such as clearing out shed or greenhouse. Tidy up the plot, but leave some messy areas with piles of twigs for wildlife.
