DecemberDecember is a busy time with holidays and that leaves precious little time for gardening. December is a turbulent month weather-wise in north Alabama. Winter has not really arrived yet, but you can count on plenty of gray and dreary days. This is usually a wet month and with temperatures swinging back and forth constantly, it can also be stormy. Typically, temperatures hover in the 50's during the day.
Snow in December is rare (the photo at right was actually taken in early January of 2001) but a white Christmas is not unheard of. The ground is still soft and this is usually the latest time for doing many gardening chores before the cold temperatures of January and February.
