Watering. Watering is tricky in May. Small, new plants haven't yet developed enough roots to handle sudden hot weather and must be spot watered daily or as needed. Here's a trick to find out if a new transplant has "taken root:" About two weeks after setting out the plant, try tugging on it VERY, VERY gently; if you feel some resistance, it's roots have spread into the surrounding area and you can probably reduce watering.
If you have lawn sprinklers, check the spray pattern. Dry spots will tell you where adjustments are needed. Get it fixed now so you won't be over watering all summer just for a few dry spots.
• Plant beans, corn, cucumber, eggplant, melons, potatoes, pumpkins, peppers, squash, and tomatoes. Start some from seed and transplant the ones you started in February and March. And don't forget the chile!
