May

Gradually increase the fertilization, within this month you should be fertilizing with the normal doses and the usual frequency. Increase fertilization on rose bushes The poinsettias you pruned in March and the hydrangeas you pruned in April will start to show new shoots. As soon as you notice new growth gradually increase watering. With the heat, the first annoying insects such as mealybugs/aphids and coccoids have already appeared. Check your plants often and carefully, especially on the new shoots and the underside of the leaves so that you can identify and deal with the problem in time. On plants that bloom at this time, cut off wilting flowers to encourage new bud production. Plant vegetables directly in the garden or transplant plants grown from seed. This season is suitable for all summer harvest vegetables, such as peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, zucchini and beans or potatoes. Finally, find out about the annual flower fairs that are usually organized at the beginning of May, in different regions of the country. These exhibitions are a very good opportunity to see new plants or just new varieties.
