April To-Do List for Zone 7
-
Pass by broccoli and cabbage on sale at garden centers—hot weather will soon arrive, causing plants to go to seed instead of forming edible heads.
-
Thin crowded carrots, chard, and lettuce.
-
Remove floating row covers from peas early in the month. Drive tall, twiggy branches into the ground next to the plants for support.
-
Mulch around the base of cool-season crops to keep their roots cool and moist.
-
Select new azalea and rhododendron bushes while they're in bloom to make sure that the color complements your landscape.
