Things to do in May
Alison Mears
- Sow autumn cabbage, autumn/winter cauliflower, beetroot, broccoli, main crop carrots, lettuce, peas, radish and spring onions
- Sow frost-tender vegetables e.g. courgettes, French and runner beans, pumpkins and sweetcorn
- Harden off and plant frost-tender vegetables once the danger of frost has passed
- Continue to earth up potatoes
- Harvest over-wintering onions, lettuce, radishes and rocket
- If the weather’s dry water regularly
- Plant aubergines, chillies, cucumbers, melons, sweet peppers and tomatoes in a greenhouse or poly tunnel
- Make sure that greenhouses and poly tunnels are ventilated by day and regularly watered
