WHAT TO DO IN MAY
■ Plant cucumbers, sweetcorn and basil when nights are above 10C (50F)
■ Plant aubergines and peppers at the end of the month if 15C (59F) temperatures can be guaranteed
■ Water grape vines regularly for productive plants
■ Plant tomatoes early in the month: keep tying stems to supports and nip out side shoots while these are small
■ Keep on top of ventilation and damp paths down to keep daytime temps below 30C (86F) if possible
■ Water carefully so no plant stands in dry or soggy compost
