Middle South - May 2018: How is your garden doing?

Woke up this morning to 43 degree temps.  But we're apparently finally past the worry about frost.  Yea!

The last couple of days have been gorgeous - temps getting into the high 70's, dry humidity.  And, surprisingly, the pollen isn't bothering me nearly as bad as previous years.  I haven't had my annual spring bout of laryngitis (hubby's annual vacation, lol!), so life is good!

My garden, unfortunately, is not up & running right now.  Our lives are a bit crazy & even working from home, it just hasn't been a priority this spring.  I'm hoping to get out next week to do some work...  I'm PLANNING on it....  We'll see how it goes.

So, please, tell me what's going on in YOUR garden.  Let me live vicariously through you, lol!

Lots can be done this month before the heat really hits!  And it's not too late to get going!  Gardenate tells us this:

Thanks for the gardengate info.  I'm sowing cucumber seeds this morning before heading off to work and plan to sow squash and zucchini seeds this evening.  I have a fig tree to plant today too.  It's cloudy today and a bit windy but the morning temperatures are a warm 67 degrees.

Cloudy is good for tree planting. Less stress on them an all plants....

We're immersed in a real estate deal that's sapping all of my gardening energy. To make it even worse, every time I go out there to plant something or pull a weed, I get a horrendous sneezing fit. I don't know what I'm allergic to, but even a downpour didn't wash it away.   The good news is that we're having perfect weather, so the few things I have growing are very happy.
