🎧 🌱 December Delights: What to Plant in Your Garden and Allotment

❄️🌱 December might feel like the gardening year is slowing down, but there are still plenty of beautiful things you can plant for colour, structure, and flavour. In this episode, we explore all the winter-friendly vegetables, flowers, and hardy crops that thrive when planted in December. We’ll chat through overwintering broad beans, garlic, onions, winter salads, spinach, and hardy herbs — plus which flowers can still be sown or planted for an early burst of spring colour. You’ll discover how winter planting strengthens root systems, saves money in spring, and gives your allotment a huge head start for 2025. We’ll also cover compost prep, soil warming techniques, container ideas, and the best frost-proof methods to keep young seedlings safe through the cold snaps. Whether you're filling a polytunnel, greenhouse, balcony pots, or raised beds, this episode is packed with December planting inspiration. What are YOU planting this December?
