Add One More Veggie 🥦

🌱 Small changes can make a big difference! Try adding just one extra vegetable to your meals this week—spinach in eggs, carrots in pasta, or extra greens in your sandwich. It’s an easy way to boost flavor, color, and nutrition without changing your whole routine.

Hot off the press! Check out our all new guide published through USDA. This was a BIG project and I'm glad to see it pushed across the finish line so producers have access to this information during this persistent drought!

Date ideas don’t need a big budget to feel big 🤍

Low budget can be a late night walk, cooking together, or a movie night in. Mid budget might look like trying a new café, going to an arcade, or having a cute dinner out. A higher budget could be a weekend getaway or something a little spontaneous.

It’s not about how much you spend, it’s about how present you are with each other.

Please join us for another set of exciting garden programs as part of our HOMERgrown series!

This Thursday, April 23rd, at 6 pm we will have Josh Grant from Barrow County Extension teach us about how to manage insects in the garden. We will discuss Joro spiders, whiteflies, stink bugs, white grubs and much more.

May 28th at 6 pm Joshua Lyon, our very own Banks County Extension Agent, will be leading a class on composting. In this class we will learn how to keep composting simple and consistent so that we can turn our kitchen waste into garden gold!

These programs will take place at the Banks County Extension Office located at 413 Evans Street in Homer, Georgia. Please register by calling or emailing Joshua Lyon at (706)977-6230 or Joshua.lyon@uga.edu.
If you require accommodations, please contact us two weeks prior to the program.
University of Georgia is an Equal Opportunity Institution.

🥗 Fresh, flexible, and full of flavor! April is a great time to build your own spring salads using what you have on hand. Start with leafy greens, then add veggies, beans, grains, or even leftover proteins for a quick and satisfying meal. Simple, affordable, and easy to customize!
