To Do:
- Plant potatoes just before May 10.
- Plant these seeds toward the end of the month: beans, cucumbers,
squash, melons and okra. - Transplant plants after the last spring frost day (generally May 20 but
in NE Ohio, one never knows!): tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant - Continue to harvest mature asparagus and rhubarb.
- Thin previously sown early spring vegetable seedlings: peas, carrots,
Swiss chard, spinach, lettuce, kale, radishes, beets and kohlrabi. - Keep weeds under control by pulling them as soon as they sprout. Hold
off additional mulching your plots until the soil warms.
NOTE: Watch for a late frost (yes, it’s NE Ohio, it happens!). Cover
transplants with lightweight sheets or newspaper if frost
threatens. DO NOT USE PLASTIC.
