December is the month in which you start to make your garden self-supporting;
Tidy up beds and borders and remove fallen leaves
Remove leaves from lawns, but keep off if very wet or frosty. You can still lay turf if the ground is suitable.
Plant roses, trees, shrubs, and hedging if weather permits.
Dead head winter flowering pansies to encourage blooming throughout winter.
Mulch beds, borders, trees, shrubs and fruit bushes but not if the ground is frozen.
In the vegetable garden, when weather permits dig or fork over vacant ground working in well rotted manure or compost.
In the greenhouse, ventilate on warm days, water plants sparingly and ensure all glass is clean to admit as much light as possible.
