Vegetables to sow in May
In May, depending on your location, the risk of frost has largely gone, soil temperatures are ideal, and there is now plenty of sunlight to support healthy growth.
This month provides the optimal growing conditions for many plants, making it a great time to sow seeds indoors, as well as directly outside. For tender plants, however, we recommend sowing seeds inside so that the plants have a chance to grow strong without interference from predators.
After hardening off plants, it's time to carefully transplant seedlings to their final location in your vegetable patch, beds, or containers.
Throughout May you will witness your seedlings thriving and developing into hardy plants.
