What to do in the garden right now

Pick a month. This is the list I actually work from — Garden Zone 7A. Adjust a week or two either way for yours.

Do this month

  • Plant tomatoes deep after the 15th — bury two-thirds
  • Stake dahlias as you plant them
  • Sow beans direct once nights hold 55°F

Leave it alone

  • Basil before the nights hold 55°F
  • Trusting one warm week in early April

Reading for April
