Spinach, shown above, is a great seed to direct sow in your garden in April.
Of course, what you can plant in April depends on your growing region! Here in the front range of Colorado in growing zone 5b, our last frost is usually in mid-to-late-May.
Indoors, we can start lots of warm weather veggie seeds under lights like pepper seeds, tomato seeds, basil seeds, eggplant seeds in April.
Outside, we can start seeds for Lettuce, Spinach, Beets, Carrots, Radishes, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cilantro, Oregano, Parsley, Dill, and Peas. These vegetable seeds are frost tolerant and sowing seeds now in your garden or outdoor containers can result in a much earlier harvest this spring!
April is a great time to start your vegetable garden for lots of produce to come!
Peppers are best started indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last chance of frost so they can grow some nice roots before transplanting into the garden once it's warmed up outside. For us in Colorado, this is in April. When you are ready to transplant them outside, don't forget to harden your seedlings off!
