May Garden checklist
​
-
Plan. Succession planting is one of the methods of gardening to increase production and to maximize the space. Quick growing radishes only take 30 days for maturity, and tomatoes and peppers can be planted next to the radishes. By the time radishes are harvested, tomatoes and peppers have a plenty of room to grow to fill the empty space.

-
Amend. No-tilling is one of the methods to build up the soil structure and health. Top dressing with well-aged compost or gentle fertilizer (N2-P3-K1 or similar ratio) can give an added boost.
-
Monitor your plants for pests. Patrol each garden bed at least weekly. Cabbage moths are active, which means there will be cabbage worms on kale and leafy vegetables.
-
Direct sow.
