What to do in the garden for April

• Trim evergreen shrubs so they recover before winter
• Choose trees for autumn colour
• Good time to plant or move Camellias, Rhodo’s & Azaleas
• Look for Lilium, Hippeastrum & Sprekelia Bulbs
• Complete planting of spring bulbs
• Tidy leaves of Hellebores, Winter Iris & Aquilegias
• Sow Asian Greens, Broad Beans & Peas
• Plant all Brassicas (cover with fine netting against white butterflies, old lace curtains ideal!)
• Remove all old leaves from Strawberries (put in garbage)
• Remove 3 year old Strawberries & replace with new stock
• Repot herbs and pot plants with new potting mix
• Pick up any fallen fruit & dispose of if diseased
