What to Plant In April - From Seed and Transplants - Easy Gardening For Everyone!

🌿 April is an ideal time to plant a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, radishes, turnips, and kale from seeds.

🍅 Starter plants can be an alternative to seeds for those who've been traveling or have had a busier year, offering a quicker start for crops like eggplants, onions, and collards.

🌷 Letting certain vegetables go to seed at the end of winter can attract pollinators and provide a source for free seeds for future planting.

🌽 Corn is a viable crop to begin planting in April, and starting seeds in a grow bag or large container can prevent wasting space with seeds that may not germinate.

🏡 For gardeners with less time or space, purchasing starter plants like peppers, tomatoes, and strawberries can offer a more convenient gardening approach.

🌱 Mixing plant types in your garden is generally successful, and experimenting can lead to both fun and learning experiences.

🌻 Sunflowers, including varieties like teddy bears, can be started in April, adding beauty and diversity to the garden.

🥦 Broccoli, cauliflower, and collards that overwintered can be left to flower for seed collection or harvested for continuous yield.

🌞 It's important to plan for potential weather changes; using containers for some plants allows for quick sheltering in case of unexpected frosts.

🔄 Always have a backup plan for your garden and consider starting seeds for beans, cucumbers, squash, and other vegetables during the month of April.
