April Autumn Gardening Advice

Get Gardening

An April Autumn check list for your garden!

Vegetables

Harvest pumpkins and store in a cool, dry place. Kumara should also be harvested before the first frost. Planting winter vegetables – cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, silverbeet, spinach and beetroot in a raised garden will help with drainage, also don’t forget slug bait as they will love to nibble on your winter greens.

Fruit

Once pip and stone fruit trees have lost theirs leaves you can prune them on a fine dry day. Follow immediately with a spray of lime sulphate and then a copper spray to protect then against leaf curl, black spot, leaf spot and blight come June/July. Prune feijoas bushes once all fruit is harvested.

Flowers

It’s now time to replace summer annuals with winter flowers like primula, polyanthus, pansy and viola, dianthus and Iceland poppies. Sweet peas planted now in a nice sunny spot with flower in spring. Ensure spring bulbs are planted now if you haven’t done so already. Autumn in a great time to plant new shrubs like camelias and rhododendrons, if planted now their roots will be established before winter.

Lawns

Now is the best time to put down a new lawn, as you will get less weed growth than in spring time. Turfix weed spray will control weeds in existing lawns and a top dress with a slow-release lawn fertiliser will green the lawn without strong leaf growth.
