Mid-South: May 2019

We've started the month with beautiful weather. Expecting rain over the weekend. And it's certainly warmed up! It's supposed to get up to 84 today.

Most of the pollen SEEMS to have calmed down after the initial burst. I still have bees visiting my blueberries. (And it looks like a pretty decent crop!)

So... May... LOTS to do! Here's what Gardenate is saying about zone 7b. 7A should be pretty similar:
