April

• There is something going on in vegetable garden: Now you can sow peas, carrots and lettuce, for example. But that's not all: even seed potatoes, shallots and onion sets have come to the right time.
• Delicate plants can now be outdoors, but should be protected at low temperatures with fleece.
• The harvest season of rhubarb has begun.
• How about a lush flower garden in summer? Then in April they sow summer flowers such as vetches and wildflower mixtures.
• If new plantations of roses are planned for which there was no time yet, they should be made in April.
• Do not forget: make the rose cut no later than April.
• So that there is no bad experience afterwards, you should examine the box trees at very close mesh intervals on the caterpillars of the boxwood pest.
• For spring flowers on the balcony and terrace, remove some of the plant parts and water them regularly - for a long-lasting flowerage.
• Pond: It is high time for the pond cleaning, if you have not come to it yet.
• Pond: Use April for new plantings around the garden pond.
• Most overwintered potted plants prefer to go outside, but should only be cleared in bad weather. Important: Do not clean out any harmful container plants until May, when frost is really no longer to be expected.
• After the first cut, scare the lawn again. Important: Do not mow too short. This not only helps de soil activity but also counteracts moss.
• Sow new lawns - this is possible from April. Make sure that the seeds are not covered with too much soil, because grasses are light germs and the germination process is otherwise unnecessarily difficult.
