December: The weather has turned colder but there is still plenty to do in the garden plus a night out at the London opera with Christmas lights.

I enjoyed your video clips of downtown London and the lights and the coliseum. But your greenhouse and garden has lifted up my spirits more than you know. I'm on PEI and frost is common place here now. It is raining up a storm and windy this morning. I suppose more trees that were weakened by Hurricane Fiona will come down on the lines and put the power out again.
That is great progress!
Fantastic, I am sure you are on the right track Sean. You are getting closer to that special day when you can have a cup of tea and say, with a big smile on your face, "Look how well everything has grown." I will follow your Hollyhocks with interest.
Enjoyable video Sean, loved the progress on the garden and lots going on in the greenhouse!
very relaxing watching your video very therapeutic thank you, hollyhocks are beautiful!
I always enjoy your interesting and varied videos. I have watched a few of your old videos of the Rusty Plot, it looked very impressive with a super variety of crops, you must have worked very hard to keep it in such great condition. It is a shame the gardener who followed you there let it go so much. Keep well.
Well done Sean. You have really made a lot of progress! Your plot looks great – really taking shape and wonderful things to come from the greenhouse. Wonderful video with so many interesting things in it. Loved the trip into Central London – you always chose such beautiful music. So fun when the lights and music went off at 11pm! Keep up the good work and look after yourself. Mild Winter here in North Carolina with 70 degree days!
Looking forward to seeing all the flowers on your plot next year it will be an explosion of colour brilliant
Snow today in Newcastle..gardens looking great you’ve done a good job
Memories of Jeff Hamilton somewhere in there 👍
seeing the polar vortex may visit, keep that garlic out of the ground and safetly in pots at home.
Wow! London is still wonderful I see. Interesting video Sean. Happy Christmas☘️
Snow on Cader Idris up here Sean. Bitterly cold.
nice video sean
Getting there Sean , looking good 👍
have t6hey cut down the lights due to the queen dying for respect maybe?
Good progress, Sean!
Ive not seen Hollyhocks bare root like that. I guess it makes them affordable for mail order. I think it's a good idea to pot them up to start with as then if any fail you'll know and you can plant them out spaced so as to have no odd gaps. Thanks for showing us all the lights of London.
Fabulous Sean! With ticket prices like that, I'd be seeing a show once a week! …Your allotment looks like it's coming along. Looks great! I'm always fascinated when seeing how maritime climates can still plant in December! You have done so much work over the past several weeks! It's no wonder your poor back gave out! But you will reap the benefits of your labors. Can't wait to see the Snow plant take off. That will be lovely. Wishing your back a speedy recovery! Cheerio…
can really see signs of progress there Sean, good on ya
Lovely catchup Sean and varied too.. Your plot is really coming on, you've done such a lot since you had it .I love Hollyhocks but mine always seemed to get rust , so I haven't grown any for a few years . I will look forward to seeing how yours get on… Certainly got colder now for sure. .Hard frosts here near Weymouth, looks like snow in the morning . .Keep warm and look after your back .
Wonderful video ,Sean . Thank you
