Dearest Sprouts,
April is here and so is warmer weather alHamdulillah. Here are some tasks that need to be performed in the garden:
- Fertilize soil
- Write in your garden journal
- Protect transplants from late spring frosts by covering them
- Use a soil analysis to prepare garden soil for spring planting
- Use a soil thermometer to know when to plant vegetables outside
- Protect transplants from late spring frosts by covering them
- Now is the time to start a vegetable garden depending on your growing zone
- Clean up places where insects like slugs, sowbugs and millipedes hide
Local April Gardening Calendars
Use the Cooperative Extension System Offices interactive map to find the horticulture website of your local Extension Office.
Once on the site, use the search term “monthly garden calendar” to find the gardening needs for your area.

salamu aleykum,
i recommand you to take a look at permaculture,
It is a way of agriculture and gardening with no waste, nearly no work, no artificial additions like fertilzers and pestizdes, it is the principle of a forest which doesn’t need any human work to be fertile and produce plants over plants!
happy gardening dear sister
