On Sunday, May 7th join the LA County Master Gardeners at the Green Tent Sunday, May 7 from 9 am till 1 pm. Pick up a seedling and packets of seeds for FREE!
For May, they've grown the following for you:
Sugar Snap Peas — likely your last chance to get these into the ground, they’re well established, they prefer the colder weather to get started and despite this late rain, it’s going to be warm soon.
Cucumbers: the first of the season. They’re very tiny right now but they’ll develop their “true leaves” soon. Once that happens, you can transplant them.
Green beans: Bush beans that do not need a trellis
Baby Arugula: Everyone likes this spicy flavored green
Succulents: You can never go wrong with them and they make lovely arrangements!
Flowers: Delphiniums, snap dragons and Gerber Daisies
Don’t forget to conserve water, despite the rains: drought is inevitable! And maybe, if you’re redoing your garden, consider native plants!
