Plant Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries
Plant Dahlia tubers (wait until next month to set out annuals and perennials – when the danger of frost has passed).
Get after slugs – use care with pets
Start vegetable seeds indoors and outdoors. Fact Sheet #8: Starting Vegetable Indoors/Outdoors. Seedlings that were begun indoors can be transplanted into larger pots when they have their second set of true leaves.
