May finally saw then end of most of the spinache and a flurry of planting. I grew some fancy onions and leeks from seeds and tried my best at fancy heirloom tomatoes and peppers - we'll see if any make it. May 15th is technically the last frost date, but I remember from last year that May was still cold and damp - so that all my beans, squash and cucumbers rotted before they germinated. Therefore, I only planted a few beans in May and held off until the end of the month to plant my warm-weather stuff.
Good to know. As it is only our second year doing a garden, I don't know when is too soon to plant directly in the ground.
