December in the Piedmont garden can still be quite lovely with such beauties as the above Camellia, the yellow blooms of Mahonia ( below ) and Edgeworthia.
Edgeworthia, aka the Chinese Paper Bush, is a very unique plant which fills the winter garden with its unique form and fragrance.
Perennials such as Artemisia and my late late blooming native aster ' raydon's favorite ' are still striking.
I still see bees buzzing around 'raydon's favorite ' ( above ) aster even in December when there's little left for them .
And lastly, the herbs that remain evergreen year-round are delightful-sage, rosemary, parsley, thyme and oregano.
In the vegetable garden I have savoy cabbage, kale, green onions, and spinach .
I love being able to garden year-round and I'm pleased to say that I have something blooming every month of the year.
Now on to the new year - 2020 !
