In the April garden, make the most of this prime time for planting

April is the month when our gardens show off their best selves.

plants are silvery bladed succulents, mostly rosette-shaped that are fantastic especially in rock gardens.

If you have a sun-filled balcony, patio or porch, grow dwarf varieties of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and more in containers. Choose unglazed terra cotta over glazed ceramic. Thin the marble-size fruits on nectarines, apricots and other deciduous fruit trees to one fruit per 4 to 6 inches along each branch. Compost the thinned fruits.

Turn over potted bromeliads and shake out the standing water in their “tanks.” Turn back upright and sprinkle Mosquito Bits into the center when you refill it. Mosquito Bits contain the biological pesticide Bt, which kills worms, caterpillars and mosquito larvae.
