There is always something to do in the ornamental garden as well as in the vegetable garden. Here we would like to introduce you to five important tasks in the vegetable garden for the month of May.
No breather
There is still a lot to do in the garden in May. The garden does not allow us a little breather. Especially those who have a vegetable garden need to take action now. We have put together a list of the five most important works for you.
Vegetable garden in May - 5 tasks
- If you want beans, you have to sow them by mid-May at the latest. If you want beans that are easier to care for, then you should opt for bush beans, because runner beans are more susceptible. Runner beans or runner beans are also used to cooler temperatures.
- If you want to try your hand at sweet corn then May is the ideal month to plant here, not earlier as temperatures may be too cool otherwise. Corn with beans is ideal in bed.
- To let cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, onions and cabbage thrive, you should sow dill in between. This promotes growth.
- Zucchini and cucumbers should not be planted outside before mid-May. Both need warmth and would stop growing at temperatures below 10 degrees.
- It's harvest time for rhubarb now. The whole plant should never be harvested, otherwise the plant loses strength. A third every two weeks is ideal.
