In December there is not really much to do in the garden, but but but ...
the garden

Flowers: Cyclamen
This lovely plant with delicate flowers, white, purple, pink or red flowers from November to March, flowering for about 1 ½ months. Fragile, it is difficult to maintain and to flourish again.
In winter, it is best to place it in a cool room or the temperature does not exceed 18-19 ° C. It should be watered regularly, without paying water in the center of the plant, which promotes rot buttons. Bring a little liquid fertilizer every week. We can remove the cyclamen out periods of freezing, the fresh air it will regenerate. Once flowering is complete, continue to water and fertilize the plant until the leaves turn yellow (around April). We do not give him more water until July and place the pot outdoors in a shady corner. When the old foliage will be gone in favor of the new, we can repot the bulb, by burying the 2 / 3. We will return the pot in September.
