Today in the Garden

April

April – the cruelest month? Not in San Diego gardens. This month, planning, planting and pruning pays off with a glorious spring bloom. The days are longer and warmer, making it a perfect time to invite friends to a garden party or join with a group for a garden tour. Still gardeners don’t exactly rest on their laurels this month –there’s still plenty to do to keep gardens glorious as temperatures climb and beaches beckon.
