    CINDERELLA

    This centuries-old French heirloom pumpkin looks just like the coach in the fairy tale Cinderella. The glowing orange color contrasts magically with the very pronounced lobes and flattened top. Tasty, orange flesh transforms pies and savory dishes. Each plant sends out 10 foot vines with up to 6 fruit as large as 15 inches across.

Peas

Jobs for this Month - May

  1. Harden off and begin planting out indoor raised seedlings; protect susceptible plants from slugs and snails.

  2. Sow french beans, runner beans, carrots, cabbages, beetroots and salad crops outdoors - protected with cloches or fleece if frosts threaten.

  3. Plant any remaining seed potatoes and earth-up shoots of growing potatoe plants.

  4. Tie in peas to sticks or canes; pinch out tips of early broad beans to discourage aphids.
