Tips for Your December Garden
Did you think you were off the hook with gardening because December rolled around?
Well, not quite. There are still a few chores to be done

Gardeners miss their gardens when the weather is cool, but we also enjoy the rest. If you’re dreading the long winter, the good news is there’s still more to do.Roses and perennials need an extra measure of protection over the winter months. You don’t need to do anything special.
Instead, use what you’re given. When snow blankets the ground, scoop it up and place it on top of your roses and perennials to offer more insulation to the plants.
Preparing for Cold, Wet Weather
Now is the time to clean up your garden thoroughly. Go through and make sure all debris is removed from the garden areas.
Take this month to care for your perennials. Wait until the ground freezes fully. When it has, add mulch to cover the perennials wholly.
This will stop them from going through the constant cycle of freezing and thawing which can cause damage to the plant.
The final thing you should do this month to care for your garden is to show care to your compost pile. Give it a turn and see if it feels dry.
If it does, add some water to the compost pile and work it in. This will help get your garden off to a proper start the next growing season.

Don't forget tool care and maintenance.
Take care of your tools – clean the dirt off your tools and sharpen them before storing away for the winter. Restore or replace handles if needed.

Our Granddaughter, Sydnie putting our Hoedag tool to good use! Sydnie recently graduated from Western Washington University, Bellingham WA with a degree in micro biology. Until a job 'crops up', she is helping around the farm, keeping things tidy. The vegetables in the greenhouse are getting a lot of attention, too...her space!
