Things to do in you garden in December.

Welcome December!

Are we dreaming of summer yet? Digressing slightly from the usual practice of posting a monthly menu on the first day of the new month, and instead offering a companion gardner for December from Adam’s Luxury and Eve’s Cookery.

The book includes a monthly to-do section for your kitchen garden, which I find delightful. Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing a deluge and not a lot is happening outside. Nonetheless, I offer this excerpt as inspiration to others.
