Gardener's April to-do list: Plant salad veg and create a sweet pea teepee

A British gardener, who shares her tips and tricks with other keep gardeners, has detailed to Express.co.uk her April jobs for her garden, including creating a sweet pea teepee and sowing salad vegetables. 

Cleverly, Sharon is holding off until the last of the frost, as a frosty spell can kill the plants.

She said: “I won’t be planting out just yet as we have more frosts due. Currently hardening them off with some time outdoors.

“I’ve also used a couple of these hanging basket inserts (up-cycled) I’m holding and, so far, would highly recommend.

“The roots have all grown through the multiple holes in the base resulting in my strongest seedlings.

“I’ll plant the containers directly into larger patio pots for zero root disturbance. Will it work? I’ll let you know!”

Another gardener claimed it is “the perfect time” to sow cosmos.

Sophie Valentine told her followers on @lookinsidemygarden: “It’s cosmos time…”

The gardener said: “They really are a great seed for a beginner.”

Cosmos are related to sunflowers, but they are much smaller and are usually pink in hue.

Cosmos originate from Mexico and they like to grow in full sun. However, the plants like moist but well-drained soil.
