Listen now
Description
In this weeks episode John looks at what we can sow in the April vegetable garden and other gardening jobs.  April is the month when seed sowing is at its peak with lots on the sowing list for this month.  We can begin sowing and planting outside once conditions allow. In some areas and especially in colder parts of Ireland frosts are still prevalent and will be until perhaps mid May so again proceed with caution.  If planting out veg later in the month if possible give it some form of protection from the elements using fleece or bio-netting. Some seeds drop off the sowing list this month and later in the month tender crops can be sown including sweet corn, courgette, squash, French beans etc. Successional sowing can be continued on a regular basis.  Join us as we arm you with the strategies and timing to sow and grow for an abundant season, regardless of the weather's whims. If you’ve fallen a bit behind, we've got your back, revealing how to catch up on planting aubergines and peppers in the greenhouse. Discover the joys of succession planting, ensuring your garden remains a cornucopia of fresh veggies, herbs, and flowers. Plus, learn why now is the perfect moment to invest in the future by sowing perennials and biennials that promise vibrant colour in the coming year. This episode isn't just about what goes in the ground; it's about reaping the rewards on your plate. Let's talk about my unsung heroes of the vegetable plot – onions from seed, chard and more.  We don't overlook the aromatic charm of fresh herbs. I'll also share my secrets for a continuous supply of cut-and-come-again greens and the monthly sowing schedule that keeps your herb garden lush.
