Alright Sprinkler Head, it’s go-time. August might feel like the surface of the sun, but it’s prime time to start planting your fall garden in Georgia. With a little planning and the right irrigation, you can have fresh greens on your plate before Halloween.
Start with crops that can handle heat while they germinate, then thrive in cooler temps. Think kale, collards, beets, carrots, mustard greens, and bush beans. Direct sow most of these and keep the soil evenly moist to help those seedlings pop.
Drip systems and soaker hoses are your best friends this time of year. They water gently without washing seeds away or inviting fungus to the party. Add mulch after seedlings sprout to keep the moisture locked in.
Cheap Sprinklers has drip kits and starter irrigation gear to get your fall crops off to a solid start. Fall garden goals? You’re ahead of the game.
