May offers huge opportunities for planting vegetables, as many popular crops can be added to any productive garden this month. Whether you buy young plants or sow seeds, it can be a busy month. I love starting my crops from seed, so here are my picks for the best vegetables to plant in May.
I am an experienced vegetable gardener and have grown crops for over a decade. Whether on my home plots or in the walled kitchen gardens I worked in as a professional gardener, I have always sown lots of seeds in May - both indoors and outdoors. The soil is warm enough to sow directly, while heat-loving crops can be sown indoors to plant outside in the weeks ahead.
