The December Garden

{The winners from this weekend’s giveaway are announced on this page. Also, don’t forget you can still get the Ultimate Healthy Living ebook bundle until midnight tonight.}

How was your weekend, friends? Ours was full but in a good way. We had family and friends come for Thursday. We did have a little minor water issue – someone, who shall remain nameless, broke the release valve on our water softener and so we didn’t have water from about 4pm until about 10pm.

So, Friday we cleaned the house and did a little shopping. Saturday we decorated. We do it all in one day, if it doesn’t get done on that day we just don’t do it. It’s one more way we try to have a stress free holiday season.

Yesterday afternoon found me in the garden, camera in hand. Sowing a few more seeds, harvesting tomatoes for dinner, collecting seeds and transplanting some of the seedlings that were way.too.close.

It was really relaxing so I thought this morning I would share our December garden with you.

Thanks for hanging out with me in the garden, I hope you enjoyed the visit.

Do you garden in the winter?

S-L-U-R-P!!! Everything looks SO good, especially the lettuce. Yeah, we're still gardening here. I hope you'll share this on the Maple Hill Hop!

Thanks, Daisy. I'll share it next week. I've taken a couple of weeks off from linking to hops but I'll be back next week.

Beautiful garden, ours is covered in at least a foot of snow.

Well, Heather, I didn't show you the beds that are in disarray. I'm pretending those don't exist. :D

Hi Anqi! Those lemons look great! You must live close to the coast or somewhere way South! To still be harvesting tomatoes, is fantastic! I hope to have a winter garden next year! I do have a Meyer lemon tree I keep protected that has only three lemons on it! Maybe after pruning, it will produce more lemons next year! Have a great Holiday season! Blessings from Bama!

Hi Felicia, we live along the Texas Gulf coast about 30 inland. The lemons are Meyer lemons and we love them. As you can see, our tree needs a little pruning to keep the lemons off the ground. We've only lived here 2 years and haven't had the courage to prune it yet. I bet pruning yours will help with production. Thanks for visiting!

This was fun to see, all that green, when we're not exactly able to garden around here in December!

I'm glad it was fun for you, Jody. During the heat of the summer (mid-July through mid September) there's nothing but okra and tomatoes that grow here but I always enjoy seeing what others are able to grow. It gives me my gardening "fix" until my garden is going again.
