December can still be a time of rich pickings in the vegetable garden. While the air may be cold and there are frosts on the ground, there are still plenty of harvests available if you plan your plot to be productive year-round.
Some gardeners put their plots to bed for the year at the start of winter, ready to start again in spring. But the satisfying experience of picking homegrown vegetables for your festive celebrations is one that you don’t want to miss out on. The frosts can also improve the taste of many vegetables, converting starches into sugars to make them so much sweeter.
