May 2011 Garden To Do's





may to-do's for Augusta area gardeners



this is the month that gives gardeners in our

area the "fix" we need to jump start summer!

here are some things to do this month:


* get your veggie garden in
don't worry about being perfect, just do it!


* whiteflies?
insecticidal soap on gardenias,yellow sticky
paper near infested plants,any other ideas?


* stake up tomatoes
maybe put in some teepees with small clay pots on tops..
pinch off little side shoot "suckers"


* plant corn, okra, beans, cucumbers, squash, and
southern peas from seed


* buy some dahlia bulbs to plant for late summer bloom

* sign up for FlowerCamp.
September/October openings won't last.

* mid-June Pumpkin planting time.

stay cool.
