Sowing and planting in April

April is the month with the most sowings of the year. Carrots, radishes, spinach, beetroot and chard go into the bed, plus herbs such as dill and borage. Potatoes and dahlia tubers go into the ground now, and squash, courgettes and cucumbers start on the windowsill. Plant out warmth-loving young plants only after the Ice Saints (11 to 15 May), when late frosts usually end.
