Things to do in December

Harvest root crops while soil is still viable.

Rotate houseplants so they get equal light on all sides.

Check stored corms and tubers for rot or dryness.

Paper whites and amaryllis can be started for blooms in about 6 weeks.

Remove snow from shrubs and spreading evergreens if not protected

Prune hollies and evergreens lightly. Use clippings for Christmas decorating.

Bring in branches of winterberries, high bush cranberries, crap applies and rose hips to brighten house.

Hardwood cuttings can be taken now and stored in sand, in a cool place, for spring planting.

Cuttings can be taken from evergreens and put in propagating medium right away.
