December in the garden is traditionally a month characterized by tranquility. Nature moves at a leisurely pace. It prepares itself to face the cold weather to come, but at the same time it gathers strength for the burst of spring that will follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s think about what to plant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

December, like January, is a good time to think about what to plant for Spring and Summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quite possibly, you will have replanted various vegetables in your cottage. If you have grown before, you may have noticed that not all vegetables have the same yield and success in your space. Some have good results and some do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the soil you have available, the climate, the temperatures that grow in your area, the amount of water you have available, some vegetables are suitable for your property and some are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is your first time growing, you could ask neighbors who are involved in growing their gardens and discuss their own experiences. They will help you choose the vegetables that will yield the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re the adventurous type and like to experiment, you could try growing a variety of vegetables and see which ones are the most productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to plant? Seeds or seedlings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having chosen the vegetables you will grow in the coming months, you have two options for how to sow them. You can start your vegetables from seeds or buy ready-made seedlings from a nursery or agricultural store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case you choose to use seedlings<\/strong>, all you have to do is visit nurseries and agricultural stores near you and ask them when they will start to have them available. By knowing this date, you will be able to plan times for the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to start your vegetables from seed<\/strong>, then it’s time to start looking for seeds (unless you’ve saved your own from last year’s production). You have several options for finding seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
