Georgia Spring and Fall Vegetable Garden
A Georgia vegetable guide for UGA's approximate spring and fall planting chart, with cool-season repeats and warm-season windows.
Climate signals
- UGA labels the chart planting dates as approximate and ties days to maturity to cultivar, temperature, and general growing conditions.
- Cool-season crops such as peas, spinach, radish, lettuce, carrots, beets, cabbage, broccoli, kale, collards, and turnips start as early as January 15 to March 15 depending on the crop.
- Warm-season crops such as beans, corn, cucumbers, okra, peppers, eggplant, squash, tomatoes, and watermelon concentrate in March 15 through June 1 spring windows.
- Fall windows reopen for many crops, including beets, broccoli, cabbage, collards, cucumbers, eggplant, kale, lettuce, okra, peppers, radish, spinach, tomatoes, and turnips.
Planning notes
- Use the crop-specific early cool-season rows: peas end February 15, lettuce March 1, spinach March 15, carrots March 20, and beets or radish April 1.
- Use March 15 to June 1 for major warm-season beds, with tomatoes listed March 25 to May 1 and watermelons March 20 to May 1.
- Use June 15 to July 15 for a fall tomato reset, July 15 to August 15 for fall cucumbers, and July 25 to August 10 for fall bell peppers.
- Use September 1 to October 15 for radish and spinach, but keep lettuce to the September 1 to October 1 fall row and check local county frost timing.
