April is a month of contrasts. If at the beginning the weather is usually more reminiscent of winter than spring, then at the end it often seems that the cold is behind us. But that's not true.

In most cases, cold snaps and even frosts are observed in mid-May, which can destroy heat-loving crops. It is for this reason that there is a list of plants that are recommended to be grown by seedlings, sowing seeds in boxes in mid-spring. What to plant in April?

What is planted and sown in April

Watermelons and melons. It is too early to plant them in March, since by mid-May they will grow to such an extent that they will clutter all the window sills. And in the first half of April - ideal! Just remember that they are extremely heat-loving, so you can’t plant them in garden beds. before the middle May and provided that the long-term weather forecast does not promise cold spells.

Cucumber. Another representative of the pumpkin family. Sometimes cucumbers are even planted directly in open ground, but still, this is fraught with a shortage of harvest due to late maturing fruits Therefore, the optimal month for sowing cucumber seeds for seedlings is April, preferably the first half.

Pumpkin. Pumpkin is even more often than cucumber sown directly into the beds. But there are two unfavorable factors that can destroy the harvest. Firstly, May is a rather contrasting month in terms of precipitation. Pumpkin seeds can either dry out in the ground or rot. Secondly, returning cold weather in mid-May can increase the likelihood of barely germinating seedlings rotting. As a result, the summer resident is left without a pumpkin. To reduce these risks, it is advisable to plant seedlings in mid-April and move them to the site when the weather stabilizes (usually the second half of May).

Tomatoes. Indeed, it is not too late to plant them in early April, especially early ripening varieties. So, don’t be upset if you thought about doing this back in March, but for some reason you couldn’t or didn’t dare. In the same way, you can sow early ripening varieties of hot or sweet pepper. These restrictions are lifted if there is a greenhouse that can extend the growing season of plants by 3-5 weeks. In this case, you can plant late seedlings of any varieties, preferably greenhouse determinate ones (for tomatoes).

Corn. This crop grows well in the middle zone and when grown without seedlings. However, seedlings produce more early harvest long-awaited cobs. The optimal time is mid-April. Corn is a little more cold-resistant than the above types, so it can withstand uncritical May cold snaps.

Cabbage. It is customary to plant any type of cabbage in April, and this is a reasonable approach. Cabbage is heat-loving, and the summer is short middle zone ends too quickly for her. In order for the heads of cabbage to ripen, cabbage seeds should be sown for seedlings in the first half of the month.

Some flowers: dahlias, carnations, sunflowers, asters.

The peculiarities of April plantings include the fact that the plants do not need to be illuminated, since the duration of daylight hours already exceeds 12 hours, as well as the possibility of earlier planting of some cold-resistant species (corn, sunflowers, flowers). The latter is convenient for unloading window sills, when by the beginning of May the seedlings have already become large. If long-term forecasts don't promise extreme cold, why not make it easier on yourself?

Thus, seedling method protects the summer resident from weather risks, accelerates the fruiting of plants, increases their productivity and extends favorable periods for fruit ripening, since the ovaries form earlier. We wish you success in the coming season!

In April, you need to take care of attracting beneficial birds that destroy pests to the site: install or repair birdhouses, feed tits - sparrows, wagtails, larks, rooks.

At the beginning of April it is necessary inspect and sort out potato tubers , throw away all damaged ones, and disinfect healthy ones with a solution of potassium permanganate. In order for the tubers to germinate by the time the potatoes are planted, they must be heated at a temperature of 20°C.

Greenhouses require special attention on the site. They need to be repaired, all cracks sealed, and the entrance insulated with sawdust. The soil needs to be thoroughly watered, especially if the greenhouse was not filled with snow in winter. The soil in the greenhouse is disinfected copper sulfate, and the frame is treated with caustic soda. Film, glass or polycarbonate must be washed thoroughly clean water, since the layer of dust accumulated over the past season worsens the lighting in the greenhouse.

In the flower garden There is also a lot of work: the covering is removed from roses, lilies, daffodils and tulips. While the ground is wet, you cannot walk on it, so it is best to fence the flower garden. To choose the best day for planting flower bulbs and tubers, dividing bushes flowering plants see our florist calendar.

Sowing of vegetable crops continues in April. Seedlings grown on window sills need abundant sunlight, so it is important to ensure that large plants do not stand too closely and do not shade each other. It is better to discard weak shoots immediately - a rich harvest can hardly be expected from them.

If possible, boxes with seedlings in sunny days It's better to take it outside. Some varieties are planted in the ground or in a greenhouse as early as the end of April, so the soil must be prepared for planting.
