Top jobs for April 1.Keep weeds under control. 2.Tie in climbing and rambling roses 3.Sow hardy annuals and herb seeds 4.Start to feed citrus plants. 5.Increase the water given to houseplants 6.Feed hungry shrubs and roses 7.Sow new lawns or repair bare patches 8.Prune fig trees 9.Divide bamboos and waterlilies 10. Have you cut your grass yet? Cutting early will encourage new, healthier growth. Lawn Care - Mow lawns - the aim is to maintain a constant height – not necessarily short! Do what is best for your lawn. - Cut the lawn edges and create a 3in gutting between the lawn and flower borders. - You can sow new lawns or over-seed dead patches from mid-April to early May. - Apply a high nitrogen spring lawn fertiliser to encourage good, strong growth. - If you have a problem with moss you can choose a combined fertiliser and mosskiller when feeding the lawn but beware that moss killer can stain clothes. - April is the best month to apply lawn weedkillers as the weeds are inactive growth. Trees, shrubs and climbers - Tie climbing and rambling roses as near to horizontal as possible to restrict sap flow thus causing more sideshoots to grow along the stem resulting in more flowers. - Mulching rose and shrub beds with a layer of organic matter will help retain moisture and reduce weed build-up – even improving soil structure over time. - Delay pruning any spring-flowering shrubs such as Forsythia until after they have finished flowering or this year's display will be lost. - You can still plant deciduous hedging plants, shrubs, trees and climbers. - Prune evergreen shrubs such as Choisya ternata and evergreen Ceanothus. - Remove frost damaged shoots from evergreens damaged by wintry weather. - Remove green shoots on hardy variegated evergreens that are reverting to a single colour. - Take cuttings of conifers for propagation of your favourites. Flowers - Deadhead spring bedding plants such as pansies and primulas. - Remove tired or dead winter bedding and plants that did not survive the winter. - Divide any herbaceous perennials you want to propagate. - Put supports in place now for perennials so that they can grow over them. - Sweet peas can be sown outside this month. - Prune penstemons, Teucrium, lavender and other slightly tender plants making the cuts just above fresh, new shoots. - Plant summer-flowering bulbs. - Deadhead daffodil and tulip flowers, nipping off the heads and seed pod as they fade but don’t cut them down yet. Greenhouse and Houseplants - Indoor/conservatory plants will need more watering as the days get longer. - Hydrangeas and fuchsias can be propagated from softwood cuttings from the stem. Ponds - Pond algae grows when there is excessive sun light. Create extra shade by dividing and replanting waterlilies when they are showing signs of growth. - Start feeding the fish. - Clean out your pond filter. Check the filter a week after cleaning it as the water will be very dirty from the winter and it may need cleaning again. Soft Landscaping - Remove algae from paths using a brush with stiff bristles or a pressure washer. - If the weather is dry paint wooden fences, sheds etc with a wood preservative. Ensure that you use only new chemicals as some older brands are now illegal. - Think about any soft landscaping you would like done now to enjoy during the summer – decking for example.

inside id have an LED strip light over the door to light up the door way on a night. Outside id have two planters either side of the arch, have trellis and get a few climbing plants, eventually guide these to grow over the arch, it'll take a while just depends on what climbing plant you'd use.

Designing our garden - what to do

What a great picture, and a design that could easily be adjusted for your site, in terms of both hard landscaping and soft landscaping for a Cheshire site. The elements of slabs, wooden boards, rendered walls, low hidden water feature and lush low-maintenance planting can be achieved on a small budget. Water features surprisingly cost quite a bit, even a simple rill such as in the picture with small bubbling jets and lighting. To keep the cost down, you could look for concrete slabs, and use a softer wood and then stain it to the colour you want, rather than going for an expensive Iroko wooden board. Of course, once you start staining you will need a regular care schedule of cleaning it and re-staining it. Perhaps if the budget will allow, you could spend more on say composite decking boards and a stylish piece of furniture, and then use cheaper products elsewhere. A good Internet search will reveal some great products, but don't get carried away. Stick to your idea of how the garden should look and be strict with yourself. Failing that, appoint a garden designer. Regards Mark

Garden - what can I grow in preparation for moving?
Q
Comments (10)
We moved hundreds of pots of plants when we moved. I'd already been potting cuttings up for two or three years and also buying shrubs to grow on. All the work to our house and the landscaping to the garden took much much longer than expected and many plants have had to be potted on several times, which adds to the work. We are at the planting stage this year, three and a half years after buying the property and six months after actually moving. It's hard work growing your own mini nursery! You needs loads of space for a start, racking and shelving for smaller pots so you can keep an eye on them without bending down, and space for all your bigger pots and plants to line up. The major problem is watering. You need to know the water requirements for each plant so you don't over or under water, and remember that when they outgrow their pot water requirements increase. Automatic watering systems don't help as they can't think for you. You'll find yourself jigging things around to find space for the new additions. All these plants are a temptation to rabbits and deer too so you might need to consider an enclosure. And this doesn't just happen while you're creating your nursery but also at the other end before you can plant. Believe me, builders and landscapers take up a lot of space, spread themselves around and you have to keep your plants safe from them... shade is a requirement for many plants, or even to help save some watering when the weather's hot but the converse is that they can then dry out too quickly as they don't catch all the rain. So you find yourself lugging and shifting your pots as the seasons change. Then there's protection in winter for all those exposed pots. A poly tunnel or early erection of a greenhouse is useful. What happens when you are away or have a holiday? Days of wondering if your plants are OK, is it raining, what will happening during the forecast gales, is it too hot, can you trust your designated watered to take the care you do, they don't know such and such a plant needs only a drop of water as it's freshly repotted and another a gallon a day as it's a guzzler... You'll lose plants from excessive wet in winter and drought in summer as some just give up from the extremes they necessarily have to suffer. On the other hand some plants will do brilliantly and it does make a difference when you start planting to have bigger things, plus the pleasure of knowing you did it yourself. Lugging them all and placing them in their ne homes takes more time than you envisage. Then when you start planting you must have a planting plan as will need to place all your feature and focal plants first. These will of course be the biggest ones and so your small ground covers, perennials, rock plants etc have to hang around in their pots even longer. It works but to be honest when factoring the costs of potting on, extra pots as you will never have enough of the right size no matter how many thousands you might think you have, losses and sheer hassle it might actually be cheaper to wait until you are ready to plant and buy in. If you love your plants and feel you have the time do it, believe me it will take up far more time than you envisage, if you can't cope with the hassle don't. One final and very important point. Label, label, label. Good strong labels, good permanent marker, check they haven't fallen out, been tugged by birds. You need to know your plants so you can recognise them if the labels do go missing and they are slow to green up after the winter. Good luck!
