December Garden Tasks
It was sometime in middle school when I found something even more exciting than Santa Claus coming at the end of December - Seed Catalogues! Then a man in a blue USPS uniform who delivered the potential of next year’s vegetable and flower garden in the form of full color catalogues replaced Santa. I spent hours in our livingroom in the warmth of the fireplace taking notes and making comparisons and trying to convince my parents to release more of the yard for my garden projects. While the holiday spirit fills our thoughts the gardener in us is rejoicing in the cycle of gardening. Just as we hit the longest day of the solstice there is the promise of longer days and a chance to try something new. But plants are never far from any of our lives and during the wonderful holiday season indoor plants play a major part of our festivities. Included in this month’s calendar are tips for the plants of the season.
