WORK FOR APRIL
Flower Garden
Slugs, snails and woodlice are already looking for cosy corners in which to spend the winter. Therefore remove all refuse, weeds and decaying vegetation which might afford them shelter. Plant all spring-flowering bulbs not already attended to. Sow’ seed of hardy annuals and perennials. Plant out gaillardias, delphiniums, sweet williams, aquilegias. geums, pansies and antirrhinums. Rose cuttings usually strike well if attended to now. Plant out carnations. Lift gladoili, as foliage turns yellow. If you can obtain fresh lily seed, it should be sown now. Most herbaceous plants can now be lifted, divided and replanted. Roses can be planted soon. Thoroughly prepare the beds. Divide and replant polyanthus and primroses.
