Gardening tips for April

Gardening tips for April

As the weather begins to warm and nature bursts into blossom, April becomes a busy yet exciting month in the gardening calendar. Sown seeds are well under way, there’s new pot and border schemes to plan, and dormant plants are slowly starting to reawaken. Plus, there might even be some sunny spells to look forward to! Getting lots of gardening done this month will reduce your workload later when summer finally arrives, giving more time to sit back, relax and enjoy all your efforts.

April is the perfect time to sow many winter vegetable seeds such as parsnips, carrots and brussels sprouts, which is ideal if you’re looking to include your own home grown produce in your Christmas dinner this year. It’s also the last chance to grow chilies and tomatoes from seed, so what are you waiting for? Get growing!
