April 2026 Planting Calendar

When planning your April garden, consider planting cool-season vegetables like lettuce, spinach, and peas. These crops thrive in the cooler temperatures of early spring and can be harvested in just a few weeks. For flowers, consider planting annuals like marigolds and petunias for a pop of color in your garden.

Don’t forget about your perennials! April is a great time to divide and transplant perennial flowers like hostas and daylilies. This will help rejuvenate the plants and promote healthy growth throughout the season. Be sure to mulch around the base of your plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

As you plan your April garden, be sure to check your local frost dates to determine the best time to plant. Keep an eye on the weather forecast and be prepared to protect your tender plants if a late frost is in the forecast. With a little planning and care, your April garden is sure to thrive and bring you joy throughout the growing season.

So grab your gardening gloves and get ready to dig in! April is a wonderful time to be in the garden, connecting with nature and watching your plants grow. Happy planting!
