Gardening notes for December

My asparagus is finished and the broad bean glut is abating thank goodness. My garlic crop is drying off in my garden shed (officially the laundry but I haven't seen the troughs for decades under the gardening stuff).The potatoes are growing so high I suspect they aren't making much below the ground but we will see. I hope your garden is giving you as much joy as mine does.

Now here are the Gardening Notes for December: Lots of planting joy!
