Maximising your April sowing for a self-sufficient garden
April is one of the most active months in the growing season. This video explores how to strategically sow tender crops now so they can be protected and transplanted once the frost risk has passed.
As one of the busiest months for sowing, April offers a vital window for establishing crops that require early care. The key is to focus on tender varieties that can be sheltered indoors or in a protected environment, allowing them to mature enough to be moved outdoors once the weather stabilizes.
While technical timing is essential, the most important principle for achieving self-sufficiency is to prioritise growing whatever you personally enjoy eating.
