Now the garden is at rest, there is

little to be done, so start planning

for next year. Use

evergreens from the

garden to

decorate the house for

Christmas.

Green House: Keep checking your

overwintering plants. Check the

cold frame as well. Sometimes mice

who come in from the cold, nibble

the

contents so you may have to set

traps.

Christmas Trees: Will drop their needles because their roots have been cut off and they suffer from being kept dry, in hot living rooms for several weeks. To combat this, keep it outdoors in a bucket of water until the last minute. When you bring it indoors plant it in a bucket filled with soil or gravel and keep it really wet. An average size tree will need about a pint (600ml) of water a day. The soil can be disquised with pine cones. Plan seed purchases: To avoid buying too much seed, we draw up a list of what we need. List the beds or containers you want to fill, note whether the plant will be in a sunny or shady spot and then look for appropriate varieties. When you have purchased them, you can tick them off your list. Also check seeds you have saved from previous years before buying new ones. Finally: We hope our wee Hints and Tips were helpful to you over the year. We would like to wish you a happy Christmas and productive new year. Keep up the good work

See you in 2014!
