Resources for GA MGEVs

The newest video from the Center for Urban Agriculture follows Dr. Bethany Harris and Whitney Ottinger as they take you inside the UGA greenhouse in Griffin, Georgia for a hands-on walkthrough of starting seeds indoors – from planning and supplies all the way through hardening off and transplanting.
This video covers :
🌱 How to read your seed packets and time your planting around Georgia’s last frost date
🌱 Which crops to start indoors (tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, lettuce) vs. direct sow (beans, corn, carrots, squash)
🌱 Why garden soil doesn’t work for seed starting – and what to use instead
🌱 Bob Westerfield’s rule of thumb: plant seeds twice as deep as their size
🌱 How to keep seedlings stocky and strong with 14-16 hours of light a day
🌱 The hardening off process most people skip – and why it matters
