May
Beans: Plant a few more bush and pole beans.
Celery may now be started. The bed or box needs plenty of water, and should be shaded from sun.
Lettuce requires careful handling to encourage it to germinate. It is best sown in a box and kept shaded and moist.
Melons, cucumbers, squashes, and pumpkins may be sown.
Radishes: Sow the yellow and white summer varieties.
Remarks: It is a constant struggle with weeds throughout this month, and the cultivator and plow are ever going. As the land becomes vacant, sow corn or plant sweet-potatoes — draws or vines. Sow some late Italian cauliflower. Let the orchard have constant and thorough cultivation, and remove all unnecessary growth from the trees as soon as they appear. Be always on the lookout for borers. Keep the strawberries as free of grass and coco, or knob-grass, as possible.
