April Garden Ideas
Enjoy Emerging Flowers!
Daffodils and tulips are letting us know that spring has arrived!
Begin Planting!
Plant cool season annuals such as pansies and snapdragons.
Divide and transplant perennials.
Clean up and Prune
Continue to remove debris and leaves left from fall and winter to allow early perennials and bulbs to emerge.
Cut back ornamental grasses.
Prune early spring flowering shrubs immediately after flowers die.
Order or "Borrow" Seeds
Once your summer garden is planned, start gathering the seeds. Local garden centers and online stores are options. A variety of seeds are available (at no cost) at the Marlton Seed Exchange counter at the Evesham Library. Selection changes based on the season (and availability). Check it out!
Winter Sowing Garden Maintenance Tips
If you started a winter sowing "greenhouse", check it occasionally:
Check Moisture
Look for condensation on the inside of the plastic. If the jug looks dry and light, drip or mist water through the top hole.
Keep Cool
Once the weather warms up and the seedlings have their first true leaves, you can peel back the tape and flip the lid open during the day to prevent them from overheating.
Success!
Once your seedlings have 2-3 sets of leaves, and the ground is thawed enough to work with, it's time to plant them into your garden. If you sowed the seeds thinly, then you can plant individual seedlings. If they are a clump, carefully separate the clump in to several smaller and plant these. Congratulations on your success!
