December is a demanding month for plants. It is vital to get all your overwintering plans in place so that your delicate plants are protected from the winter elements. If you have fallen behind or procrastinated, there is still time to get key overwintering jobs done in December.
The important areas of overwintering a garden include protecting plants in the ground or pots, feeding the soil, keeping greenhouses insulated, and ensuring garden wildlife have all they need to survive. Get it right, and the contents of your garden will be shielded against snow, frosts, freezing rain, and strong winds.
