EP173 What To Sow In May & Other Gardening Jobs

What to sow in May?  May is a busy month for sowing in the garden and while for the last few months we have been doing all our sowing inside in module trays or pots now we can start direct sowing into the ground.  So, what seeds can you sow in May? In the ground directly sow beetroot, carrots, turnip, parsnip, swede, lettuce, spinach, spring onions, radish, chard and more. Some of these I will sow in small amounts on a successional basis other such as parsnip which does not run to seed easily, I will sow a larger amount and do further sowings in June.  I will continue to sow my successional vegetables in small amounts in module trays in these I will sow Cabbage, Cauliflower, Calabrese, Brussell sprouts, Leeks etc.  In the greenhouse I will also be sowing pumpkin, sweetcorn, runner bean, celery, French beans, cucumber, courgette and I will also be trying melon this year in my polytunnel.  You can also sow most herbs this month. The herbs I will be sowing in May include coriander, basil, dill, parsley.  Also, many annual flowers can also still be sown these include marigold, nasturtium, nigella, cornflower, and calendula. I will also sow some Dahlia and other perennials this month.  It is important to continue to sow seed even when your beds look full so that you have some plants ready to fill your beds after your first harvest.   There will be a blog post on this episode very soon on my website.
