December'to do list.


There is much that can still be done outdoor in the garden during December .so before it gets really really
cold get your garden in order.
 LEAVEN AND LAWNS.
 In December a good job in the final clearing up of leaves and composting of any suitable material that has;
com from  the borders such as when cutting back the last the herbaceau plant.

INDOOR WINTER PLANTS.
December is the perfect time to introduce winter indoor plants for example poinsettias cyclamen african violets.
chrysanthemums and azaleas. The key these indoor piants is to ensure that they never dry out that their very,
fine root systems are aiways kept moist and that they are put in a position where there is an adequate amount of light,on droughts and no exposure to excessive heat from radiators .If those few steps are carried out then there shouid be no problem move house plants off windowsills at night to protect them from the cold .If you have terracotta containers in your garden move them into the garden or store room to help prevent them from cacking.

BIRDS.
Birds need all the help they can get Birds seed ,bread ,kitchen scraps and traditional birds feeders should put out this time of years.
