Here in the Florida Panhandle, May weather can be hard to pinpoint when attempting to work in the garden. Here are some tips for making the most of your veggie garden in May:
- Periodically harvest from your spring garden to keep it going for as long as possible.
- Plant tomatoes, okra, green beans, cucumbers, squash, eggplant, peppers, and melons.
- If you want lettuce, choose a heat-tolerant variety. This is the last chance to harvest lettuce for spring/summer.
- Water your crops regularly and adequately according to their needs; skip days with adequate rain.
- Plant okra, melons, squash, and green beans.
