December
Most of the pictures below are from the fist half of December. By the second half, many things have stopped blooming,
and the more tender plants get nipped by the ocassional frost. This is on average the coldest month of the year, with an average
low temperature of 35 degrees F, but sometimes dipping into the low 30s or even down to 28 for a night or two.
