5 Seeds I Plant Every May

Nicole Burke
About this episode

The planting possibilities in May are essentially a sneak peak at what's coming in June (Spoiler alert: It’s lots of GOOD stuff!). But we’re not all going to be putting the same plants in our garden this month. What grows like crazy this month in one zone might totally fail in another.

 

In this episode, I’m breaking down what you should plant in May for cool, mild, and warm climates. Whether it’s still crisp and cool where you live or hot and humid, I've got at least 5 plants that you can plant this month to make the most of the upcoming summer season.

 

NOTE: You’re in a cool climate if you only recently passed or still haven’t passed your last frost date (ex. Chicago), a mild climate if your last frost date was a couple of weeks ago (ex. Nashville), and a warm climate if you’re already gearing up for hot temps (ex. Houston).
