Zone 13a Planting Schedule
Action Plan: May in Zone 13a
Expert Note
May in Zone 13a can swing between warm days and cool nights, so keep transplants under light protection if temperatures drop. Use well-drained soil and mulch to stabilize moisture. Watch for aphids and flea beetles on tender growth; remove early infestations and use insecticidal soap if needed.
Seed & Soil
Plant heat-lovers like Tomato, Bell Pepper, and Cucumber now while nights are staying mild. Direct sow quick warm-season crops like Basil and Zucchini into evenly moist, warmed soil for fast germination and steady harvests.
The Harvest
Start harvesting peppers and eggplants as they reach full color and size, and pick Tomato frequently to keep plants producing. Harvest Basil by snipping the top growth, and pull Green Onion when stems are thick enough for regular meals.
