May Gardening Activities


Sorry it's been so long since I've posted...it's been very busy around here!  Our place looks...if you haven't stopped by, come visit us!

May is a great gardening month.  It's still not too late to plant vegetables, herbs and summer annuals.  And it's a great time to work on any landscaping projects - get those plants in the ground before it's too hot.  See the post below on starting your pumpking patch and don't forget about your fall garden...believe it or not, it's getting to be time to start your own tomato seedlings for the fall.  I'll post a fall seed starting chart later for all cool season veggies later on.

Lawn Care.  May is when grass really takes off.  If you haven't fertilized, now is the time.  A good organic granular fertilizer mixed with greensand will keep most lawns looking great and is especially good for St. Augustine lawns with chlorosis (yellowing).  Greensand is difficult to put out but spreads easily when mixed with the fertilizer.
