May To-Do List for Zone 10
Plant heat-loving veggies, such as sweet potatoes, okra, and southern peas.
Keep heat-tolerant herbs, such as lemongrass, going strong by feeding them with fish emulsion and seaweed spray.
If thyme, basil, and curry leaf show signs of mildew, spray them with a solution made from 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 1 gallon of water; repeat every few days.
Solarize empty garden beds: Cover them with clear plastic for a month or two to kill nematodes and weed seeds and pathogens in the soil.
Mulch all plants heavily.
Stop whiteflies and mealybugs with insecticidal soap.
