And it seems like the timing is absolutely crucial, according to Royal Horticultural Society chief horticulturist Guy Barter.
The gardening expert has shared what to plant now and what should wait until June.
Barter recommends not to plant tender species due to the risk of frost. Especially as weather conditions during April and May are so sparse.
He suggests waiting until May or even June in the north and Scotland.
However, he advised that woody and hardy plants can be planted into the soil without the worry of frost damage.
He told FEMAIL: “Most established ornamental plants need little nutrients but some organic-based fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone will help ones not growing well.
“However, mulching if possible with 5-7cm of rotted organic mulch is better.
“Adding 100g per square metre of such a fertiliser will help newly sown off planted vegetables and flowers get off to a good start.”
Barter also advises to start mulching, which is generally used to save water, suppress weeds and improve the soil around plants. He also says that watering plants will help them to grow better before the summer arrives.
Although he advises eager gardeners to start mulching, Barter warns that watering plants will help them to grow more effectively before summer arrives.
Will you be giving gardening a go this April?
