What to do in the Garden this week – April 22

What to do in the Garden this week – How’s your garden growing? We’ve had a dry few weeks, ending with buckets of rain this weekend, preventing us from getting much done outdoors. Here’s what’s on our to-do list this week:

• Begin spraying vulnerable roses  
• Plant herbs in pots or directly into the ground  
• Start sowing salad crops at 3 or 4 week intervals all summer so that you always have some to harvest
• Sow seeds of: spinach, radish, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts
• Mow lawns regularly
• Treat problem weeds with weed killer
• Tidy up hedges
• Rake out dead grass from lawns

• Sow hardy annual flowers seeds of hardy annual flowers directly into beds
