Time to get your vegetables into the ground.
Choose the sunniest spot in the yard and incorporate compost or well-rotted manure into the soil.
Apply mulch after planting to keep the soil warm, inhibit weeds and retain water. Throughout the season, water thoroughly in the early morning hours. Hand watering is preferable to using automated sprinklers because it conserves water, minimizes leaf diseases and concentrates water where you want it (not where weed seeds are waiting to germinate).
