What Seeds to plant in April

There is plenty to do in the garden, the leaves are falling so get raking, they make great compost, if you already have vegies growing, it’s a good time to give them a fertiliser boost.

Clean out any finished summer crops and spent flowers and move growing containers from shady spots to full sun. Then find your dibber and get cracking with your seeds.
