April: Monitor and Maintain Your Lawn April is a critical month for observation and proactive care. Check your lawn weekly for insects and diseases, paying special attention to camellias for scale and gardenias for whiteflies. Remove spent blooms from flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Harvest vegetables promptly when they ripen to reduce pests and disease. Fertilize palm trees this month, and adjust your irrigation schedule if rain is plentiful. Mow your lawn at the appropriate height: 3.5–4 inches for St. Augustine and Bahia grass.
