If you dream of abundant and diverse homegrown harvests in the year ahead, April is a great time to set the wheels in motion. That is because there is a wide-ranging variety of vegetables to plant in April for thriving gardens and bumper crops in summer and beyond.
I have grown vegetables for over a decade now, both in vegetable gardens at home and professionally in kitchen gardens where I grew crops in public gardens and for high-end restaurants. April is always a month for sowing a plethora of vegetables indoors, so plants are ready to go outside when the temperatures rise. Plus, there are opportunities to plant vegetables outdoors this month - but that comes with added risks.
