What to do this month in your zone, with room to record how it went.
This month in zone 4b
To do now
- Water deeply in the morning rather than little-and-often, and mulch to keep roots cool.
- Harvest often — picking beans, zucchini, cucumbers, and herbs keeps them producing.
- Check leaf undersides for aphids and other pests; treat early with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Succession-sow quick crops like lettuce, radishes, and bush beans for a steady supply.
Typical last frost May 7 · first frost October 3.
