April is a significant vegetable gardening month, though we may experience some nights of frost during the first two weeks. If you are worried about frost, you can protect your plants by laying a sheet of cloth over them at night.
An even better choice is to use row cover, which comes in different weights. The lightweight type lets about 85% of the light through and protects down as low as 28F. It is very useful in spring and fall to protect from frost. It can be left on plants that don’t need pollinating even in the summer to protect them from insects.
