Start a Planty Garden in May? No problem 🙂
May is a great time to start a Planty Garden.
You can start pretty much anytime, but May is fantastic: good weather, everything grows easily, seedlings pop up in no time, and you harvest your first radishes and lettuce before you know it.
Besides, you can sow practically anything in May: from lettuce to cucumber to beans to beets.

We're staying home this year
Around this time of year, we're usually getting ready for a vacation in a far-off place. But this year most people are staying close to home. Spring wasn't all that pleasant so some people put off their plans for a garden.
So, I get a lot of questions about whether it's still possible to start a vegetable garden.
"Yes," I say, "but with our system."
Why? Well, an ordinary vegetable garden is hard. You have to dig, fertilize, and weed a lot.
But a Planty Garden is easy: you set up a garden box, fill it with MM-Mix, download the app, and start sowing.
I'll give you some examples:

Planty Gardens set up in May
Check out Robbin's garden table? It's a garden box on legs:
Robbin only set it up mid-May.
His girlfriend wasn't a big fan at first. But after harvesting just a month later, she was convinced.

Here's another example
We set up our old show garden in May 2013 and sowed most of it in June:
Two months later, it was totally transformed:
In May 2018, we started a small vegetable garden behind our office
Op het terras achter het kantoor. Met een grote bak op de grond - inclusief klimrek - en een kleinere tafelbak:
5 days after sowing, it looked like this:
This is what it looked like the rest of May:
It wasn't long before we could start harvesting:
Not bad, right?
2019: a garden box next to the office
We started a new vegetable garden in 2019. In 1 year, it went from this:
to this:
2021: The Planty Garden 2.0
This year we started again from scratch.
This is how it looks now:
This is how it looks now:
The fence is there to protect the garden from the wind, but we're working on the rest. By mid-May, all the garden boxes will be set up and full of vegetables.
We'll take pictures and videos of everything and keep you posted 🙂

What can you sow in May?
Almost everything.
Now is the perfect time for zucchinis, cucumbers, lettuces, radishes, snow peas, New Zealand spinach, and carrots.
It's too late now for lamb's lettuce and regular spinach, but you can sow those again in the fall. You can't sow your own tomatoes yet but try your local garden center. They usually have excellent young tomato plants around now.
Let's see, what else can you sow? Beets are an option, and edible Indian cress, and basil, and beans, and dino kale ... too much to mention.

So: do you want a real vegetable garden this summer and are wondering where to start?
Here are 3 options:
- Pick out a starter kit with all the trimmings
- Put together your own vegetable garden with stuff from the shop
- Or make your own boxes yourself DIY style
Have fun!
