Arizona April Garden To Do

Set out transplants of hot-weather annuals, including vinca, salvia, angelonia, verbena, zinnias, and sunflowers. These are easily grown from seed sewn directly in the garden. Soaker hoses can be weaved around the garden beds now. Put them out in the sun to make them more flexible before laying them in the garden. Soaker hoses are an efficient way to irrigate. You will loose less water to evaporation and they can be covered with mulch so you can't see them. Organic mulch will help conserve moisture in the Arizona hot sun and it will also help suppress weeds.
