April is a funny month in the garden, not a belly-laugh funny, but, it can be peculiar. The days are noticeably longer, some of the days will even be hot but then, out of the blue, it can change to cold, wet, even sleet and hail. Whether or which, it is time to get going on planting tasks that may have been started in March but under caution.
Planting summer perennials from tubers, bulbs and corms will lead to masses of colour in the months ahead.
