Now that May is here...

May is the month for planting in PA.  Many of the crops that we love to eat will be able to be planted in May, just in time for the kids to go home.  The danger of frost has dipped now to 30%.  As we know in athletics, a 30% chance of rain is a pretty good day to play.  I really can't remember coaching lacrosse and having it rain on one of those days.  When it says 60%, it rains.  So now I will consider putting in some of the more popular plants.  My wife would like it if I took the starts in from home.  I started peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, and herbs on window sills in my kitchen.  Now the peppers are 3 inches tall and some of the tomatoes are 6 inches.  All the rest of the starts save some recently planted lettuce have been put in the garden.  Right now we have radish, peas, beans, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, chard, boc choi, kale, mizuna, arugula, onions, garlic, and mustard greens.  They are all doing well.  With a little more rain, and some TLC, we could eat many of these veggies before school gets outs. Which leads me to wonder what to plant next.  I'm thinking mellons, squash, and corn.  They will be ready to eat when the kids come back.
Another Sunny day today.  I think I'll go water the garden.
