April Gardening Calendar

๐ŸŒฑ

Start Seeds Indoors

April is ideal for starting tomatoes, peppers, and herbs indoors 6โ€“8 weeks before last frost. Use a south-facing windowsill.

๐Ÿ’ง

Adjust Watering

Spring growth kicks in โ€” increase watering frequency gradually. Check soil moisture before watering; don't let pots sit in water.

๐Ÿชด

Repot Root-Bound Plants

If roots are circling or poking out of drainage holes, it's time to size up one pot. Spring growth makes recovery fast.

โœ‚๏ธ

Prune & Propagate

Leggy growth from winter? Cut back and propagate! Pothos, Tradescantia, and succulents root easily in water or soil this time of year.
