December was a time for reflection on past performance in my Yorkshire garden. I keep old note books and reprise the failures of earlier seasons and as I discover I also repeat many mistakes the following year. That’s gardening for you.

 

This blog and list of tips has been established for 9 years and I have updated a number of pages/posts from earlier years as a bunch for next month. This will save me time in January when I want to sort out a new plan of campaign for 2017 garden action. If I follow my own tips I hope it will help me cut down on some mistakes.

 

Annually I produce a spread sheet of my intentions in the form of a to do list which has reduced from over 210 garden items to almost a manageable number. As the seasons develop the list gets longer and my errors more obvious.

 

Many thanks to those readers who land on various pages and help by using the adverts or affiliates that helps towards part of the small  costs incurred.
