What Vegetable Seeds Can You Sow in April?

With longer days and warming soil, many crops can be sown directly outdoors, while others benefit from an indoor start. Hardy vegetables like beetroot, carrots, parsnips, and spinach can go straight into the ground, while tender crops such as tomatoes, courgettes, and runner beans should be started indoors or in a greenhouse. Fast-growing salad leaves like lettuce and rocket can also be grown in April..

How to Sow Vegetable Seeds in April

Choose a sunny, sheltered spot for direct sowing and make sure the soil is warm enough for germination. Sow in rows or clusters, depending on the crop, and keep the area weed-free. Lightly water after sowing and continue to water regularly as seedlings emerge. For indoor sowing, use small pots or seed trays filled with moist compost. Place them in a greenhouse, on a windowsill, or in a propagator to maintain warmth. Harden off young plants before transplanting outside to help them adjust to outdoor conditions.
