Your Garden - April
 
If you are not sure what jobs you could be doing in your garden in April, here are a few suggestions:
 
Kitchen Garden
  • Plant onion sets, shallots and seed potatoes
  • Plant out vegetable seedlings such as cabbages - seasonal products 
  • Plant new strawberries and cover established strawberries with cloches if you want an early crop - seasonal products
  • Start sowing vegetables without protection - seeds
  • Apply fertiliser to fruit bushes, where appropriate.We recommend Arthur Bowers Sulphate of Potash
  • Plant up a pot with herbs, ready for summer salads, Our Surrey grown herbs are on offer at 5 for £7.
     

    Flower Garden
    • Feed and mulch beds and borders
    • Plant container-grown trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants
    • Stake herbaceous plants with grow frames and rings.
    • Sow hardy annuals - seeds
    • Sow bedding plants in seed trays in heated greenhouse or on windowsill - seeds
    • Start pricking out early sown bedding plants
    • Plant out autumn-sown sweet pea seedlings 
    • Plant a hedge
    Lawns
    • Apply mosskiller and 'lawn feed and weed'
    • Dig out patches of coarse or resistant weeds
    • Renovate bare patches by over-seeding with lawn seed mixture
    • Sow a new lawn.(Remember we sell grass seed loose)
    • Trim lawn edges with edging iron
    • Mow the lawn, but cut high initially to avoid risk of damage
    • Lay turf in mild areas providing the ground is not frozen or waterlogged ( our turf is locally grown and can be ordered ready for collection or delivery)
     

    Gardening will be very much dependent on the weather in your area with the timings given as a guide only.
