Our extended growing season allows us to get three seasons of vegetables. Autumn's mild temperatures create perfect growing conditions for cool-season crops, such as lettuce, spinach, broccoli and carrots. The class covers: summer vs fall season crops; sustainable gardening techniques; direct seeding and transplanting; frost protection; preparing the garden for winter. Taught by the UGA Extension in Fulton County and North Fulton Master Gardeners.
