Care of the garden in spring

Get the best days to start work in the garden. And this is the case for several reasons: the mild temperatures and daylight hours invite you to spend pleasant time practicing the gardening, but also the work that we carry out during the spring months are aimed at obtaining results in a very short time. Our garden begin to show its best during the months of April and I may, and is up to us to help you flourish (and never better said) in all its splendor.

Almost any type of species can grow in April. Summer bulbs, such as the dahlias or the gladiolus, have since mid-March its planting time; If the escalonas planting them each week, you’ll have flowers for much longer. These bulbs are planted at a depth equal to two times the size of the bulb. The perennial spring and trees or shrubs in pots also were can plant already.

It is also a good time to plant flowers in summer, as the beautiful petunias the zinnias, and vines as jasmine or pea smell. Remember that plants and young shrubs may require even protection against Frost, although they are less frequent, may still be. It is also a good time to plant grass or place lawn tepes.

It is advisable to remove the land of the bedding for a good aeration, and also nurture her and pay with fertilizers, for example with complex fertilizers. It is also a good time to increase the frequency of irrigation; We recommend water preferably at dusk or at dusk, to prevent the evaporation or the warming of the water with the Sun during the day.

Zones of shrubs, masses and rosales that are dry or damaged, as well as dried flowers, should be cut or pruned to avoid that they consume water and fertilizer for the growth of the plant. If there are pests, especially aphids or cochineal, should stem from the beginning to avoid that then cause more serious damage. For snails, you can prevent access to the bushes placed at the base of these raw loose gravel or pebbles. Snails may not scroll over them.

We also devote efforts to plant and renew the garden, and we can be sure that remove you as well throughout the game. During the month of April we recommend sowing or planting melons, lettuce, cucumber, Zucchini, eggplant, tomates… Some of these vegetables are grateful to be planted in the Crescent Moon of the month, e.g. melons and lettuce.
