What to do in your garden in May

In other regions of the West, May is a good time to experiment.
In Southern California, try subtropical fruit (like bananas, or cherimoyas); in Northern California, shop for kousa dogwoods; in the Southwest, consider a new prairie switch grass; and in the Northwest try some unusual summer bulbs (like Chinese ground orchids).
