April Planting Guide

April is one of the most exciting months for gardeners in New Jersey. As soil temperatures begin to rise and the risk of hard frost starts to fade, it’s the perfect time to jump into planting a productive backyard garden. Whether you’re growing vegetables, herbs, or even small fruits, April sets the stage for a successful harvest season.

A well-designed container garden can transform any patio, porch, or entryway into a vibrant summer focal point. At Bloomers Home & Garden Center in New Jersey, we see firsthand how the right plant combinations and design approach can elevate even the smallest outdoor spaces.

Caring for Skip Laurels

Recently, we received a call on the Bloomers in the Garden Hotline from a listener named in Madison, New Jersey, who expressed concern about his skip laurels. These once-vibrant plants, installed by a local landscaper around a year ago, have begun to turn yellow as winter draws to a close. The caller observed that the landscaper left the burlap bags around the root systems when planting and wanted to know if this was a problem.

The Beautiful World of Camellias

Camellias are truly a beloved evergreen plant that can perform beautifully even in colder climates, debunking the myth that these southern beauties can’t thrive in regions like New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. With new advancements in hardiness, it’s now possible to cultivate specific varieties in Zone 6 and potentially even colder zones with proper precautions, especially protection from harsh winter winds. If you’re wondering whether you can grow this stunning evergreen, the answer is a resounding yes!
