What to plant now in Georgia: questions

What can I plant now in Georgia?

In November, the UGA Cooperative Extension calendar has 2 crops with an outdoor planting window in Fulton County, including Asparagus and Onions. Pick your county below for this week's list.

What vegetables can I plant in November in Georgia?

The statewide calendar lists: Asparagus and Onions.

Why does my county have different dates?

The calendar gives one set of dates for the whole state.

Does "start indoors" mean I sow seeds inside?

Yes. Some calendars list a date to sow seeds indoors for later transplanting. Where the calendar has no indoor dates, only outdoor planting is shown.

Are these dates safe every year?

No. They are the extension service's typical windows. A late cold snap can still damage tender plants; check the 10% frost date for your county before setting out tomatoes, peppers and other warm-season crops.

Where do the dates come from?

From UGA Cooperative Extension vegetable planting publications, listed with links at the bottom of this page, and NOAA climate normals for frost dates.
