Experts Share Advice

In early April, our garden was visited by UGA County Extension Agent Wade Hutcheson and local farmer and Master Gardener Bobby James. They shared information and guidance about proper planting, watering, fertilizing, controlling weeds and pests, and harvesting of vegetables. After the presentation, these experts toured the gardens and answered individual questions. Mr. James also brought a variety of certified, organic heirloom tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and other vegetables for purchase. All these plants were raised from seed in the James Family Farm greenhouse located off Harlow Avenue in Griffin.

Spring and early summer crops are coming in nicely. Several farmers are beginning to harvest some lettuce and the beets, radishes, and broccoli aren't far behind.


Here is the beginnings of one proud gardener's first lettuce harvest. Bring on the "oil and vinegar"...or maybe the Ranch.
