December's garden belongs to nature. In spite of a few nice days, much of this
month will likely be too blustery and cold to accomplish much outside. It's a
good time to settle down in front the fireplace and catch up on that neglected
garden journal, browse through the seed catalogs as they arrive, and ponder the
many lessons of the past year.
The shortest day of the year is upon us—December 22—and the time is ripe for
a holiday shot in the arm. Even if your garden is looking December-drab,
brighten things up indoors with narcissus and amaryllis, scarlet poinsettias,
and fragrant sprigs and boughs of evergreen. Remember to save some energy for
maintenance, winterizing and houseplant care.
