Top 12 Vegetables to Plant in May

Honeydew: Honeydew melons need full sunshine and nutritious soil that has been amended with either manure or compost. 

Brussels Sprouts:With an upright growth habit, Brussels sprouts will likely be the most intriguing thing growing in your garden. 

Yellow Squash:Belonging to the same family, yellow squash and zucchini grow in a similar fashion and are great vegetables to plant in May.

Corn:The spacing of your corn plants is key to their overall success, given the fact that corn is primarily pollinated by wind and shifting breezes. 

Tomatoes: Tomatoes are one of those crops, and May is the perfect time to plant established seedlings purchased at your local garden center. 

Zucchini:May is a great month for planting zucchini from seed or established plants depending on how warm it is in your region. 

Cabbage:it may be too late to plant cabbage plants from seed. However, you may have some luck with transplanting an established cabbage seedling, depending on the variety.

Eggplants:A member of the same family as tomatoes and peppers, eggplants also crave full sunlight, warm soil temperatures, and a lot of food during the growing season.

Cantaloupe:If you live in Hardiness Zones 3 through 6, it may be too soon to plant your cantaloupe plants. This is a crop that prefers soil temperatures averaging anywhere from 65 to 70° F. 

Carrots:Just like cabbage, carrots will only grow when temperatures are mild but that doesn’t mean you can’t grow some during the month of May.

Peppers:Speaking of plants that are susceptible to cold temperatures, peppers should be planted outdoors in the same way that tomatoes are.

Pumpkins:Many people choose to plant pumpkins from seed in mid to late spring, which may mean that this particular month doesn’t work for your Zone.
