April's Gardening To-Do List

Get Growing

  • Get your early and second early seed potatoes planted.
  • Last chance to get your veg seeds sown, or pop in store to buy seedlings - we have tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, cabbage, lettuce, beetroot, carrots and much, much more. 

Love Your Lawn

  • Make sure you scarify to remove any moss or dead thatch and get your first mow of the year done. 
  • Get that first feed of the year done - ask in store for what is right for your lawn. 
  • Towards the end of April is a great time to sow new grass seed.

Perfect Planting 

  • If growing your own bedding, get that sown now. 
  • Make sure beds and borders get a good top dressing and fresh compost or soil improver. 
  • Start to feed your shrubs - we recommend Westland Tree & Shrub compost in combination with Boost. 
  • Roses will need some TLC and we recommend a specialist rose feed. 
  • Dead head any spring flowering shrubs.
  • April is also the ideal time to sow a wildflower border.
