April

Prepare

This is the month where all hell starts to let loose. It's time to plant and sow! sow! sow!. However, to avoid damping off, disenfect your pots and seed trays, and ALWAYS use fresh compost - NOT last years left overs.
Unpack any special plants you have ordered by post as soon as they arrive to avoid any deteriation.

Sow

Continue to plant the Garlic, Onion sets, Shallots, first early Potatoes, and some second earlies from the middle of the month (Weather and soil permitting).
This is the best month for sowing Beetroot, Carrots, and Parsnips. and also all your greens such as Broccoli, Brussel sprouts, Cabbage, summer Cauliflowers, Kale, and Spinach.
The bean family ie. Broad beans, French beans, and Runner beans are now best sown end up in pots from mid April and keep frost free. This also applies to your Sweetcorn.
Let's not forget the salad crops. Continue to sow your Radishes, Peppers, Celery, and Lettuce (or plant out the ones you grew last month!).

Harvest

Eat what's left of your stored vegetables as fresh crops should be available shortly.
