I have not found someone in the Southern Hemisphere to coordinate a "What to Do Now" TOW. December is the easiest month to start here north of the Equator, as there is so little to do relative to the rest of the year. Perhaps someone in the Southern Hemisphere may like to begin when their gardening slows down a bit. My plan is to break the jobs up into five categories and introduce one per night, starting on Sunday. This will allow for comments during the rest of the week, which I will gather into one document for posting next year at the relevant time. I hope I have them organized so that the first ones will produce the most comment. If not, I will rearrange them next month. 1.Garden (including bulbframes) 2.Pots (tender plants and winter forcing) 3.Providers ( seed sellers, especially of short-lived seed and specialty nurseries that are open for only a short season) 4.Propagation 5.Problems I have been scouring my library, and have most information about Great Britain and the west coast of North America. I hope those living in other places will fill in my gaps. -- Diane Whitehead Victoria, British Columbia, Canada maritime zone 8 cool mediterranean climate (dry summer, rainy winter - 68 cm annually) sandy soil
