April To-Do List for Zone 8
Give flowers and vegetables a foliar feeding of liquid seaweed or compost tea; spray the liquid nutrients on foliage early in the day before it gets too hot.
Plant black-eyed, purple hull and crowder peas, okra, peanuts, sweet potatoes, squash, melons, cucumbers, and corn—all can withstand the heat that will arrive in less than 2 months.
Keep planting basil—it loves the warm weather.
Plant "bulbs" of caladium, calla, gladiolus, and water lily.
Keep adding kitchen scraps and grass clippings to your compost pile.
