May is a "shoulder" month. The cold crops are peaking and it is warm enough to start the summer lovers like tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers and eggplants. It will take a couple of months for the summer crops to begin producing well. You can count on having fresh from the vine tomatoes by the 4th of July. A double reason to celebrate!
Here is a list of plants and seeds you can put in the May garden:
May-transplants or seeds
Bee balm (monarda)
Catnip
Cantaloupe Growing melons and cantaloupe
Dill
Horseradish
Lemon balm
Lovage
Radicchio
Sage
Tarragon
Thyme
Valerian
Watermelon Growing melons and cantaloupe
May-start seeds directly in the garden
Potatoes (seed potatoes) Time to plant potatoes, even if you only have a patio
For tips on starting your seeds in the garden: Outdoor seed starting tips I also like to put a pot on our covered deck and start seeds there. Once they are to a good size, I transplant them into their permanent pot of into the garden bed. Vegetables you can grow in pots
