What's Hot to Sow and Grow in April
🌱 Spring is the season for sowing seeds. As night temperatures can still sometimes dip below zero, it is wise to stick with hearty and semi-hardy species for outdoor sowing. Annual varieties like Atriplex hortensis var. rubra, Calendula officinalis, Cerinthe major 'Purpurascens', cornflowers, nigella, and poppies make excellent choices for direct sowing into borders. 🌺🌺🌺
Vegetables to Sow
🌍Broad beans, peas, and mangetout can be sowed directly into the soil, although you may already have some growing from previous autumn sowings. In addition, consider growing some in modules early spring and planting them out as you sow another row, ensuring a lengthy harvest.
