With the start of December comes colder weather and shorter days, but will that put us off pottering around the garden? Absolutely not! There's plenty to do, so if you're wondering what to plant in December, you're in the right place.

Tulips

Forgot to plant your tulips? Never mind, there's still time to get them in the ground before the first winter frost. The former part of December can be just warm enough for the bulbs without causing any damage. Perfect for when you're at a push!

Strawberries

If you're planning on growing your own fruit next year, then December is the perfect time to plant your strawberry plants in the ground. A brilliant choice for those with allotments.

Indoor Bulbs

If you're still unsure of what to plant in December and none of the above tickles your fancy, then indoor bulbs could be your saving grace. These beauties are perfect for planting around September to December and you'll see them appear in mid-late winter, depending on when initially planted.
