Spring Garden Calendar

Zones 3-5: April

•Perennials: Dig and divide summer- and fall-blooming perennials. Mulch beds to reduce water needs.

•Grass: Feed cool-season lawns with a slow-release fertilizer. Sharpen the mower blade, and set it to remove no more than one-third the total grass height in one cutting.

•Veggies: Sow cool-season vegetables, including lettuce, radish, and greens. Set out transplants of broccoli and cauliflower.
