You also may want to have your soil tested to determine how much fertilizer and lime to add if any is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Georgia, it can be very challenging to get cool-season vegetables through the end of summer. There is a delicate balance between starting them early enough to allow them to mature (50 to 60 days) before a hard frost and getting them through the end of a hot, dry summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start seeds in August for broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale, turnips, radishes, spinach, lettuce, beets and onions. It is best to use a store-bought potting mix to start seeds in containers, flats or trays. Place the seeds in a partially shaded spot and keep them watered, and you will have seedlings ready to transplant in September. Onion sets can be transplanted later in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most vegetables can be purchased as ready-to-transplant seedlings from garden centers if you don?t want to start from seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping young seedlings watered is critical to establishing them. You also have to keep a sharp eye out for pest problems such as insects, diseases and weeds because they will continue to flourish in warm temperatures and high humidity. A layer of newspaper and mulch placed between rows can prevent a lot of weed problems and help conserve soil moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact your local University of Georgia Cooperative Extension office at 229-616-7455 for more information on growing fall vegetable gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank You,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeremy Kichler<br>Colquitt County Extension Coordinator<br>229-921-1977<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As summer vegetables like corn and beans stop bearing, it?s time for home gardeners to start preparing fall gardens of cool-season vegetables.
