December

It is not a good idea to work on frosted soil or frosty or wet lawns.

• Dead head winter flowering Pansies.
• Cut back Roses to prevent wind rock.
• Protect Holly bushes that are carrying berries if you want to use the branches for Christmas decorations.
• Put food out for the birds and make sure they have water.
• Buy a real Christmas tree,
• Some cheerful houseplants such as Cyclamen, Poinsettias and Azaleas brighten up the house at this dark time of year.
