According to the
Hagerstown Almanack
Look for below-average temperatures but above average precipitation. The month opens fair and mild but expect some showers on the 5th7th, with the 16th-19th changeable. Rain closes out the month on the 30th and 31st, although temperatures will be warming as we head into June.
Full Moon comes on the 23rd at 3:45 p.m. which, time to the tradition that “April showers bring May flowers,” some call The Flower Moon.
Tornado watch is indicated from the Mid-West heading into Ohio and Pennsylvania the 15th-17th.
It’s gardening time — America’s biggest leisure time hobby.
A wise rule to remember: you can plant early (cool weather) crops late but you cannot plant late (warm weather) crops early.
Cole family crops (cabbage, broccoli, etc.), asi well as parSnips and rutabagas, often do better if planted late for fall harvest. They won’t bolt and you avoid many of the diseases.
Moles may be making a unsightly mess of your lawn with their tunnels. However, they are destroying the Japanese beetle grubs which could later eat your shrubs and flowers.
