There’s something deeply satisfying about growing your own food—and there’s no better time to start than right now. April is go-time for cool-season veggies, and at Copia Home & Garden, we’re here to help you kickstart a garden that’s both delicious and doable.
Whether you’re planting your very first lettuce patch or getting a jump on this year’s backyard harvest, we’ve got the plants, tools, soil, and know-how to make it a success.
What You Can Plant Right Now
In our region, April is prime time for getting cool-season crops in the ground. These hardy veggies thrive in chilly nights and warming spring days:
-
Leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, arugula, and Swiss chard
-
Brassicas such as broccoli, kale, cabbage, and brussels sprouts
-
Root crops like radishes, beets, carrots, and onions
-
Peas—snap, snow, or shelling—all love to climb into the cool weather
We’ve stocked up on ready-to-plant veggie starts for easy success, as well as organic seeds if you’re starting from scratch. Ask us what’s just arrived—we love showing off the latest arrivals!
Raised Beds? Containers? We’ve Got You.
Not everyone has a big garden space—and that’s okay! Raised beds and containers are perfect for veggies, and you’ll find all the supplies you need right here at Copia.
Need help choosing the right soil, organic fertilizer, or compost blend? Let’s chat. We’ll walk you through the essentials to give your plants a strong, healthy start.
Veggie Gardening = Family Fun
Starting a vegetable garden is a great way to get kids involved, try new foods, and reconnect with the seasons. We’ve even created a few kid-friendly garden kits with mini tools, easy-to-grow seeds, and a starter plan that’s perfect for little hands and curious minds.
Ask about our Eat What You Grow kits—they make growing fun and tasty.
Plan Now for a Long Season
April is just the beginning! While your cool-season veggies grow, you can start planning for your summer crops—think tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, and beans. We’ll let you know when it’s time to plant those warm-weather favorites (usually in May), but now’s the time to:
-
Prep your beds with compost and soil boosters
-
Sketch your layout for succession planting
-
Start seeds indoors for late spring transplanting
We’re happy to help with planning—bring your garden goals and a few photos or measurements, and we’ll create a quick planting guide just for you.
