Nature news
With lots of bare ground in December, it can be an easy month to spot wildlife… If you can stand the cold! Keep an eye out for prints in the mud or snow. Look for signs of badgers, deer, foxes, otters, squirrels, mice and voles. Use this handy guide to identify what tracks you’ve seen. You might be lucky enough to spot an owl, but you’re very likely to see lots of small birds including the robin.
“December: A month of lights, snow, coziness, and feasts; time to make amends and tie up loose ends; finish what you started and make your wishes come true.”
Food in season
The weather’s getting chilly but there are still lots of fresh ingredients that you can buy locally.
Brussel sprouts, carrots, cauliflower, kale, leeks, potatoes, savoy cabbage
If you’re out and about in the garden, December is the month to sow broad beans for early next year. Did you know that Boxing Day is the traditional day to sow onion seeds?
