Introduction: The vegetable garden in April – a new beginning

April is truly the moment you've been waiting for as a vegetable gardener, the month when the vegetable garden truly comes alive! Spring is the ideal starting point for gardening activities like sowing and pre-sowing. You can already feel it: the soil is finally getting warmer, but it warms up slowly in April, meaning some seeds can't be sown directly outdoors yet. The days are getting longer, and those pesky night frosts are leaving you alone more and more often. Perfect, then, to finally get sowing in your vegetable garden, but with some varieties, hold off on sowing if the weather isn't cooperating yet. This month, you can get started with delicious vegetables. There's also a lot of activity in the greenhouse and on the windowsill with April sowing of tomatoes, zucchini, pumpkins, cucumbers, melons, and more. They'll really enjoy the warming soil and will reward you later with a bountiful harvest you can be truly proud of. Flowers also love April: the soil is no longer too cold, and your young plants get enough light to grow vigorously. Whether you're just starting out in the garden or have been digging in for years, April offers you every opportunity to fill your garden with vegetables and flowers. By sowing now, you lay the foundation for a colorful, bountiful garden that will continue to surprise you with delicious and beautiful harvests all season long.

Mijn naam is Tom en ik ben mede-eigenaar van Plukkers.com. Ik ben papa van twee zonnetjes van dochters en ik heb een schat van een vrouw. Toen ik in 2014 van een kale plek in het gazon een kruidentuintje maakte, kreeg ik een heel apart gevoel van binnen. Ik voelde meteen dat het geen bevlieging was maar de start van een onweerstaanbare en vurige passie. Ik wilde alles weten en schreef wat ik leerde ook weg naar mijn website Moestuinweetjes, intussen heet die Plukkers.com. Ik wil ook andere mensen begeesteren om hun eigen voedsel te kweken. Aan mijn huis in Wielsbeke ligt mijn droomtuin met serre, moestuin en een hobby-wijngaard met 333 wijnstokken. Naast wijn maak ik binnenshuis ook lekker bier om af en toe met mate(n) het leven te vieren. Ik toast met jou op een boeiend, rijk gevuld leven onder het motto : “Maak het zelf !”.
