Would like to set out plants the first week of June, as I had a problem with herbicidal drift the last two years. Thinking if I could just get past May I will be safe from the landscapers.

Maybe I will just start peppers........ and a few tomatoes.
Sdambr, herbicidal drift is a terrible thing to deal with. I read somewhere that they can cause problem even later once the temperatures rise. They "can lead to damage in human health, environmental contamination"...

I grow organically. No harsh chemicals. Peroxide, Epsom Salt, soap, and Diatomaceous Earth. With allergy so high in our area we need organic food at least during the summer.
Hudson county in NJ is known to be quiet polluted.
