This Month in Your Garden - April
The Lawn Care Guide - April
Cut and come again
It’s only natural to want the lawn looking its splendid self after the winter and so there is a tendency among us all to cut too close, too early. We should mow as the growth dictates, remembering the higher the cut the healthier the plant will be. So we should expect to lower the cutting height gradually down to 3cm (1.25”) cutting height by the end of the month.
The Vegetable Plot - April
Variety is the spice of life
All things nice grow in your vegetable patch and more than fill your five a day. Succession sowing will see you stocked with veg right through to autumn and beyond. What a list it is! Carrots, turnips, beetroot, spinach, radishes, Brussels sprouts, peas, parsnips, broad beans, leeks, broccoli, summer cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce.
