Episode Details

❄️🌿 December might feel quiet, but it’s one of the most important months for setting your garden and allotment up for a successful year ahead. In this episode, we’re covering all the essential jobs you should tick off your list before the new growing season starts. We’ll talk through clearing dead foliage, protecting tender plants from frost, turning compost, tidying beds, planting your final winter veg, keeping wildlife fed, refreshing mulch, and checking polytunnels, greenhouses, and sheds for repairs. You’ll also hear how December is the perfect month for reflection — planning next year’s layout, ordering seeds, and getting organised for a strong start in 2025. If you're wanting a productive winter and a peaceful, purposeful month on the plot, this December to-do list will guide you through every must-do task. What’s first on YOUR December list this year?
