Fruits and vegetables are Georgia's number-two cash crop, but the popularity of commodities like peaches, tomatoes, blueberries, and fresh greens is not limited to commercial producers.
Interest in home gardening continues to grow as people realize the nutritional and economic benefits of home-grown produce and learn that it's relatively easy to augment your family's food selection right from your own backyard.
UGA Extension provides both home gardeners a variety of information to help have the best output with the least amount of labor possible.
For information about commercial fruit and vegetable production in Georgia, see our Fruit, Vegetable and Ornamentals section.
