April in the garden
Sunday, March 31st, 2024It’s the end of March today, so I’m looking ahead to tomorrow!
The clocks have gone forward, so it’s lighter later which is always a bonus for anyone who works!
April is the month when hopefully the weather turns from constant rain to warm and sunny. The ground is saturated and we don’t need more rain to add to the problem.
Some better temperatures would be good too, although you’ll note the weeds are growing already.
Weeding now is easier as the soil is damp and the weeds are coming out fairly intact. You do need to give them a proper shake else you end up composting half the garden! If the soil was dryer you could hoe, but when the soil is damp I find weeds are as likely to reroot where you leave them. If it’s warm and dry the weeds you hoe off dry.
Anyway, enjoy this fun quiz!
