DECEMBER IN THE GARDEN
D
ecember is not generally our most extreme weather month and one can expect a fair amount of clear frosty mornings and plenty of sunny days. With the light fading so fast - this is the month for getting up early and stuck into any tasks that haven’t been finished in the garden. Below are some of the things you could be getting on with: Continue with your winter digging but only if the soil conditions and weather suit - not too wet or frozen. If you are on clay I would imagine that you can probably forget about it. December is the best month to do any major pruning on ornamental trees and shrubs. Prune bush roses back by half or so to stop them being damaged in the wind. This a good time of the year to plant bare root shrubs and trees while the ground is warm. You may still have time to repair lawns if the weather allows. Make sure you don’t walk on the lawn when there is a frost, all you will do is leave big brown foot prints where you have broken the brittle grass stalks. Keep all your house plants in good light but not direct sunlight and water them sparingly. If you haven’t done so - insulate the inside of the greenhouse with bubble wrap.
Also insulate your cold frames and on really cold nights cover the cold frame with an extra layer. Just because the air is colder now that should not prevent you ventilating your greenhouse and coldframes on the sunnier days of the month. This will prevent stale air and the dreaded spread of damping off. Keep birds stocked up with fresh water, seeds and any scraps from the house but go easy on white bread. Clean paths of algae repair fences and sheds. If there is a heavy snow fall shake load off branches and foliage to prevent any damage due to excess weight. When the ground is not too wet or frozen continue to lift and divide perennials. Make sure you protect any plants or pots that may be vulnerable to frost damage. Drain water from any pipes or taps that you have in the garden and insulate them. Clean away any damaged or diseased material in and around shrubs and trees. Mulch around all fruit trees and shrubs that have been pruned. When tidying up the garden, leave a pile

Wood Products
of wood, and leaves in a corner providing somewhere for any hibernating insects or little animals. Always check for animals before clearing anything in the garden. Repair tools and do the odd jobs in the garden that you have been putting off fence repairs, painting, removing the algae off the patio.In the case of heavy frosts at night, place an old football in the pond to allow the fish and any other creatures to survive Plants will still need watering this month but go easy and be careful not to overwater. The soil should only be slightly damp nearly dry. If you are in a windy location protect any newly planted evergreen shrubs that you plant with a wind break.

If you have money or property and become unable to deal with your affairs because of an accident or illness your assets may be frozen. If you have a stroke, or develop Alzheimer’s, your family may have to apply to the courts to deal with your affairs. This can be expensive, may take a year or more to complete and a large sum of money may have to be deposited with the courts! A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives somebody of your choice the power to deal with your financial affairs if for any physical or mental reason your were unable to. It is the only document which gives this power but you can complete one while in good health, so you need to act as soon as possible.
