Gardening Tips For May
Warm weather means our gardens and landscapes are
growing fast. Here are some tasks to keep your landscape
beautiful and productive:
Flowers: Time to plant summer blooming perennials and
annuals including plumbago, zinnias, angelonia, purslane,
lobularia, sunflowers, yellow bells, pride of Barbados,
duranta and bat-faced cuphea.
Vegetables: May is a great time to plant, from seed or
nursery plants, okra, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, winter
squash, pumpkins, basil, peppers, lima beans, eggplant,
garlic chives and Malabar greens. If you don’t want to
dedicate an area of your yard, consider planting here and
there in your flowerbeds. Edible landscaping is a popular
new trend!
Lawns: Water 1/2 to 1” of irrigation per week. A rain gauge or straight sided container (such as a tuna fish can) will help you know how long
to run your irrigation system to apply 1/2”.
Weeding: Hand pull or hoe weeds while they are still young or better yet, maintain a 3” layer of mulch in all vegetable and flowerbeds to
deter weeds from getting a start.
Pruning: Remove spent blooms on spring and summer annuals to promote new blooms.
Fertilizing: Fertilize flowerbeds and vegetable gardens w/slow release organic fertilizer.
Water: Deep soakings between rain events is better than frequent light sprinkling.
Birds: Spring migration continues until mid-May. Clean bird feeders! Replace water in bird baths to avoid creating mosquito breeding spots.
