What’s sprouting up in May?
If you’re welcoming a May baby, you’ve hit the jackpot—you’ve got a built-in excuse to load up on veggies! These little ones get to claim the power of the harvest, feeling a bit like mini Demeters with these names. And trust me, it’ll make your life easier as they grow! May’s harvest brings us delicious, hearty veggies like asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. Plus, it’s the perfect time to plant tasty treats like sweetcorn, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, and tomatoes.
But if you’re more into the floral side of things, May’s got you covered with amaryllis, peonies, irises, lilacs, magnolias, and heather all showing off their colors. Whether you’re planning to feed baby straight from the garden or just want to convince them they’ve got some kind of harvest superpower each year, a May baby name will keep those growth opportunities front and center every day. 🌱👶
