The following are April gardening notes from the Rappahannock Extension Office.
• When apple trees are in full bloom, make a note on your calendar 150 days later to check for ripeness.
• Thin young fruits of apples, pears, and peaches to insure larger, healthier fruit. Thin within 25 days of the peak bloom, leaving four to six inches between fruit.
• When the spring is very wet and the soil is too muddy to work, try planting your seed potatoes on top of the ground. Lay the cut seed flat on top of the wet earth with the eye up, spaced in rows 24 inches apart and 12 inches apart in the row.
Then cover them with six inches of oak leaves and water
