Spring is finally here! We should be seeing some of our flowers and trees start to bloom. As we go into April we can start to move our indoor-sown plants outdoors, if the weather is good. Don't forget we may get the occasional April shower.
Jobs for April
Start sowing tomato seeds but you must protect them from frost.
Support climbing roses and clematis to fences or frames.
Remove any new weeds by the roots, hoe raised beds and borders.
Sow hardy annuals directly into pots or beds, and remember to feed them to keep them healthy and disease-free (Mary & June’s Garden ‘Root and Seed Organic feed’) .
Secure tree ties are not cutting into the trunk and where necessary loosen.
Keep an eye on seedlings and as soon as they start growing full leaves, remember to ‘pot on’ to individual pots (Feed with Mary & Junes ‘Root & Seed Organic feed).
Check plants and soil for signs of pests and disease, and clear and treat the first signs of pests.
