Happy April! This month in your garden, if you have not already done this, order your seeds! If you have seeds on hand, then maybe you've already inventoried them and have started a few indoors or in a greenhouse. If conditions are favorable, this is the month you might actually put some seeds in the ground so here's a list seeds that can be direct sown outdoors soon:
Lettuce
Mizuna (and other easy to grow Gourmet Greens)
Mustard
Spinach
Arugula
Radish
Basil
These top seven will give you instant satisfaction, flavor, and may increase your energy levels as well as put a little 'spring' in your step if they are added to your daily fare.
Spring energy moves upward, quickly, and thus it's good to eat lots of above ground plants as a way to harmonize the body with spring and summer. Come Autumn, root vegetables, which coincide with the downward moving energy of the season, might be what you crave -- your body may ask for thick soups with root vegetables to feel balanced in fall.
Now (or very soon) is the time to plant roots like:
Carrots
Turnips
Beets
Rutabagas
Parsnips
Many more little notes like this one will be coming your way as the Gardening Season blossoms!
Lovely April to you!
