UGA Extension - Columbus

Tomorrow, April 14th from 9:00 am - until (all plants are gone), UGA Extension Master Gardeners will be giving away plants to needy gardeners! Plant It Forward will be held in conjunction with the outdoor farmers market MercyMed of Columbus Farm, located on Second Avenue. This event is geared to those who want to take pride in their community, one yard at a time, who may not have the means to purchase plants on their own. Local Master Gardeners are sharing plants that already thrive in their own gardens, and will be available to answer questions about planting and growing a variety of flowers, edibles and other plants. Please note only 4 plants per person/family. Parking will be on 3rd Avenue and 38th Street.

Wishing all of our peeps a healthy and happy April! image001.png

With spring fast approaching, how do you know when is the right time to sow seeds for vegetable transplants? The answer is... it depends. Typically, it is 6-8 weeks from when the transplants will be planted in the garden, however, you will want to check the plant's particular requirements (found on the back of the seed packet) as well as the last frost date for your area. For general planting dates, you can always consult the UGA planting chart.
