Vegetable Garden Calendar (C 943) The recommendations in this circular are based on long-term average dates of the last killing frost in the spring and first killing frost in the fall. Every year does not conform to the "average," so you should use your own judgment about advancing or delaying the time for each job, depending on weather conditions.

Native Plants for Georgia Part I: Trees, Shrubs and Woody Vines (B 987) This publication focuses on native trees, shrubs and woody vines for Georgia.

Rare or endangered species are not described. Information on each plant is provided according to the following categories: Common Name(s)/Botanical Name/Family, Characteristics, Landscape Uses, Size, Zones and Habitat.

Dec 4 Virtual Childcare Provider Training: Eat a Variety of Foods Childhood obesity is an ongoing problem in the United States, with about 1 in 8 preschoolers classified as overweight or obese. Food preferences and physical activity habits developed in early childhood continue into adulthood. Low consumption of fruits and vegetables, decreased physical activity, increased screen time, and increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages contribute to weight gain among 3-5-year-olds. Because about 67% of children under age 6 spend all or part of their day in non-parental care, the ECE environment is an important setting to introduce children to healthy eating habits, including eating a variety of foods using MyPlate. This session will dive into the ECE "Eat Healthy, Be Active" curriculum and discuss implementation strategies for childcare providers. This training is hosted by Appling, Candler/Evans, and Burke County Family and Consumer Sciences Agents. *Registration required: bit.ly/UGAtraining2
