Garden in December
In December, the snow lies deep in some places, which is actually good for the plants because a layer of snow protects and insulates against the worst cold and frost. If it’s really cold outside and you don’t have a thick layer of insulating snow, you can protect your plants with mulch or spruce needles.
Prevent deer from visiting
If you live near forest, deer may be regular visitors to your garden, even during the winter months. Protect your trees and plants from deer using protective guards that you place on tree trunks or by using nets that you place around your plants. Also make sure that there is no fallen fruit left, because it is a tasty dinner for our four-legged friends.
Caring for the birds
In snow and sub-zero temperatures, birds find it more difficult to find food. Help them by hanging up tallow balls or birdseed.
