Georgia crop guides

Broccoli
Use healthy starts for the fall crop. Confirm the preferred spring method with your local Extension office.
Cabbage
Use garden-ready plants when that fits the variety and season.
Carrots
Plant from seed; keep soil moisture steady while seedlings establish.
Collard greens
Seed and transplant choices vary by season and garden setup.
Cucumbers
The date window applies to outdoor planting; match the seed or transplant method to the variety you plan to grow.
Garlic
Plant individual cloves rather than seed.
Lettuce
Seed or starts can fit the season and variety.
Okra
Direct sow after the soil has warmed; UGA notes a 65°F soil condition at 4 inches.
Onions
Sets, plants and seed can lead to different schedules; keep the first choice tied to the onion type you are growing.
Potatoes
The UGA chart gives an outdoor planting window and lists planting material by volume; it does not describe the full potato-starting method.
Pumpkins
Plant seed 1 inch deep in slightly raised hills.
Strawberries
Use plants, then choose the system that matches your region.
Sweet potatoes
UGA lists plants, rather than seed, for this outdoor window.
Tomatoes
Use healthy plants; keep seed-starting advice separate from this timing page.

Plant once soil is warm; UGA watermelon guidance points to a 65–70°F soil range.
