What To Plant - DECEMBER - Australian Temperate Climate

It's December! I can hardly believe it. This year is almost over.
December is definitely a month of reflection. Another year has passed. Life has changed again. You've grown older. So has your garden. One of the things I like most about gardening is watching it change, watching it grow. It really is a thing of beauty to watch your garden change throughout the year. Every year you see something new, you learn something new. To be a gardener really is a great privilege. It brings happiness and peace.
