GARDENING TIPS FOR MAY
Warm weather means our gardens and landscapes are growing fast. Here are some tasks to keep your landscape beautiful and productive: Flowers: Time to plant summer blooming perennials and annuals including plumbago, zinnias, angelonia, purslane, lobularia, sunflowers, yellow bells, pride of Barbados, duranta and bat-faced cuphea. Vegetables: May is a great time to plant, from seed or nursery plants, okra, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, winter squash, pumpkins, basil, peppers, lima beans, eggplant, garlic chives and Malabar greens. If you don’t want to dedicate an area of your yard, consider planting here and there in your flowerbeds. Edible landscaping is a popular new trend! Lawns: Water 1/2 to 1” of irrigation per week. A rain gauge or straight sided container (such as a tuna fish can) will help you know how long to run your irrigation system to apply 1/2”.

Water: Deep soakings between rain events is better than frequent light sprinkling. Birds: Spring migration continues until mid-May. Clean bird feeders! Replace water in bird baths to avoid creating mosquito breeding spots. Submitted by Robert “Skip” Richter, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Horticulture Agent in Harris County
