May Gardening Do THIS and NOT That Zone 6/7

FULL VIDEO since the prior upload had technical difficulties. May is one of the busiest months in the garden… but it’s also one of the easiest months to accidentally make things worse. There are plants that can get stressed, bolt, stop flowering, develop weak growth, or struggle later in summer if they’re handled the wrong way right now. So in this video I’m walking you through what I’m doing in my Zone 6/7 garden and food forest in May, what I’m planting, what I’m prioritizing, what I’m leaving alone, and some common mistakes I try to avoid this time of year. We’ll talk about: ? what to plant in May ? mulching & weed suppression ? fruit tree & food forest care ? what NOT to prune right now ? what plants hate being disturbed in May ? watering mistakes ? frost protection ? pollinators & beneficial insects ? and how I keep the garden manageable before summer hits Honestly, May is less about doing everything and more about doing the right things. ⸻ ?
