Winter solstice! This is a very busy time of year for many of you reading this. Me too! I am taking a bit of a break this week. Full article next week.
Get Outside
If you are itching to get outside and do something, I encourage you to do so. Most Americans are low in vitamin D, which can have a number of negative health consequences.
Decorate
Use your winter yard to decorate inside. Decorate with your yard.
or there is this – Decorate with Evergreens
Okay to decorate your plants – just do not over do it. Lights on Plants.
Plant?
Okay to plant many things even though it is winter.
Plant those spring flowering bulbs you just saw on sale.
It is time to plant onions in much of the Southwest.
Wildflowers – YES! especially if you are getting some rain.
Just avoid planting anything with tropical genes, like succulents and cacti.
Holiday Plants
Indulge! A nursery worker’s family will benefit from your purchase.
I adore cyclamen
Then there are amaryllis. I also have a YouTube on amaryllis
Many people like poinsettia.
Or choose a living holiday tree.
Best wishes for a: Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Solstice, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Joyous Epiphany.
Books
Just a reminder – you could buy one of my books.
