May can be a busy month in the vegetable garden. It can also be a very satisfying period that always includes lots of sowing and planting - providing the weather gods are on your side.
The month is an ideal time to start a long list of crops. The soil is warm and moist enough to sow directly, young vegetable plants started indoors can be planted out once the risk of frost has passed, while heat-loving vegetables can be started undercover.
