What to do in MAY

Days are longer, warmer, and the danger of overnight frost is lessening.

​

• sow beans, sweetcorn, squashes and pumpkins

• tie-in Sweet Peas before they get too out of control

• earth up potatoes as leaves start to emerge

• apply onion fertiliser to onions and garlic.  How regularly to reduce competition by weeds

• choose a nice day to start putting up supports for beans

• protect carrots from carrot fly with fine netting
