Jobs to do in December
It's time to harvest your garlic
The leaves of your garlic should be browning off which is the sign that it's time to harvest. Don't wait for the foliage to dry completely, like onions because the bulbs will split and not store as well. Pull the bulbs and hang to dry away from direct sunlight.
Net fruit trees
Protect your ripening stone fruit with fruit tree netting. When held taught, it is less of a concern to birds and helps to allow your ripening fruit to reach maturity on the tree, without becoming bird food! See how here.
Tomatoes
Early fruiting varieties like Stupice will be bearing their crop at the end of this month, just in time for Christmas salads. Continue to water evenly to avoid fruit split and apply potash to improve yield and flavour.
