What crops are suitable to grow in May?

May is exactly the time when spring and summer meet. The weather at this time is still unstable and the temperature fluctuates. The growth of many crops is relatively weak at this time, so it is suitable to plant varieties with strong adaptability.

There are many crops suitable for planting in May, such as late rice, corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans, green beans, cucumbers, eggplants, winter melons, pumpkins, watermelons, tomatoes, edamame, radishes, etc.

1. Eggplant

Eggplant is very suitable for planting in May. The most suitable germination temperature is 25-30℃, but the main root of this crop is not obvious, so when cultivating it, you can use furrow irrigation for watering, and alternate between chemical fertilizers and organic fertilizers.

2. Edamame

Edamame can be sown in spring in May. It is a crop that likes warmth and is afraid of waterlogging. It has strict requirements on light and temperature. The most suitable growth temperature is 20-25℃. If fertilizing, base fertilizer should be the main fertilizer.

3. Radish

Generally speaking, summer radish is planted in May and June. It is drought-resistant and heat-resistant. It will sprout about seven days after planting, but thinning must be done in time. In the later maintenance, it is necessary to water and weed frequently, and apply top dressing in time.
