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 potatoes and onion sets
  • Harden off brassicas on the porch
  • Top-dress beds with compost, undug

Leave it alone

  • Tomatoes outside — mid-April frost is real up here
  • Pruning spring shrubs; you will cut the buds off
