April

Top tasks for April - with April being a lean month for harvesting but it is a good month to get ahead by sowing seeds indoors or outside in a cold frame.

Harvest the first asparagus of the year along with spring cabbages and cauliflowers, sprouting broccoli and any remaining leeks and kale

Sow outdoors if the soil is warm enough

Plant second early and maincrop potatoes and the last of your onion sets

Earth up first early potatoes

Prepare seed beds by weeding throughly and raking over

Prune cherry and plum trees

Sow and plant in April

Carrots, beetroots - most root crops can now be sown outdoors

Celery, chicory, and endive - sow these indoors to ensure germination, harden off next month and plant out in June

Courgettes, pumpkins and other squashes - sow indoors ready for planting out next month

French and runner beans - sow a few seeds in pots and keep in a heated greenhouse

Leaf vegetables - spinach, swiss chard can all be sown outdoors now

Leeks and Onions - sow leeks outdoors now

Sweetcorn - has a long growing season so its worth getting a crop off to an early start by sowing seeds in pots indoors

Plant - asparagus crowns, globe artichokes, herbs, peas and broad beans, potatoes, lettuce and other salad leaves

Tricky April! Sow or Wait? Enjoy the Sun or work ?

TASKS TO DO IN MARCH

* Harvest your first Rhubarb of the year

* Plant first early potatoes, shallots and garlic by the end of the month

* Bare-root fruit trees and bushes should be planted by now

* Finish winter pruning gooseberries, blackcurrants, blueberries and autumn raspberries

* Apply fertilizers to boost nutritional content of your soil before sowing and planting begins

[[ Sow or plant in March ]]

* Asparagus - it is possible to grow from see but much easier to buy ready-to-plant rootstocks. plant them in pre-prepared trenches

* Aubergines, chillies and peppers - these are all summer fruiting vegetables and need as long as possible to ripen. Get ahead by sowing seeds indoors this month

* Broccoli, cabbages and other brassicas - sow brussels outdoors, any early summer cauliflowers raised from seeds indoors could be planted out now, but may still need protection under cloches

* Herbs - towards the end of the month sow seeds of chives, coriander, dill, fennel, oregano and parsley

* Potatoes - you should be able to start to plant them out now

* Root and stem vegetables - carrots and turnips can be sown outdoors but under cloches or frames

* Strawberries - plant out cold-stored runners as soon as they become available

21/03/2016

As winter begins to recede, sowing and planting outdoors can start. seed potatoes, onion and shallots sets, Jerusalem artichoke tubers, and rhubarb sets can all go in. So, too, can few hardy seeds that will germinate at fairly low temperatures - board beans, broccoli, cabbages, leeks, parsnips, peas, and spinach. But most other must still be sown indoors or under the protection of cloches or cold frames.
If that leaves you time on your hands, probably the most useful thing you can do this month is to begin preparing beds for sowing and planting in April and May. Remove any weeds that have survived the winter, rake the soil thoroughly, and apply some fertilizer.
