Happy December! Which means, to many, Happy Holidays too! It is time again for the monthly tips and tricks show on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners featuring Teena Spindler and Katrina Kirkeby.

If you tuned in last week, we had an old show about making a Holiday Herb Basket. Teena and Katrina have even more ideas for using fresh herbs this week. There isn't much to do in the garden, but we do not forget to check on what's still growing.

You can still plant cool season veggies IF you are following the best practice mentioned many times on these programs. And that is SUCCESSION PLANTING! Plant a little now, a little later, a little later again and so on. You can't eat 10 heads of cauliflower at once, can you? You get the picture!! Get tips on the holiday icon plant Poinsettias. Hear more about native plants. Make Seed Bombs with wildflowers with your kids while they are off from school! Not much to do?? Think again!!
