April is a key month for gardening, marked by active planting and preparation. Sow hardy vegetables like peas, carrots, and lettuce outdoors.
Plant summer crops such as tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers in greenhouses or indoors. Start preparing beds by clearing weeds and enriching soil with compost.
Plant bulbs like dahlias and gladioli for later blooms. Deadhead early flowers to encourage new growth.
Prune shrubs like roses and hydrangeas to shape and stimulate flowering. Keep an eye on pests and use organic controls if needed.
This month offers excellent conditions for garden expansion and renewal.
