Gardening

Want to try Gardening? I don't have a green thumb, but I wish I did so that I could obtain our family's produce cheaper and healthier. One thing I've learned, though -- an organic garden is the way to go...

• "Don't Panic - Eat Organic explains why (and explains a lot of other relevant issues).
• Go to OrganicGardening.com for practical 'how-to's."
• For supplies and seed catalogs (and tons more info!), go to the GreenWeb or the Gardener's Supply Company.
• My favorite organic seed companies are The Natural Gardening Company and Seeds of Change.
• Winter Sowing is easy to do! With this creative and easy germination method you will be able to start hardy seedlings for pennies.
• My mom recommends this site by P. Allen Smith. Just looking at it makes me wish my garden would grow like his! :-)
• National Gardening has an extensive site to help new and experienced gardners alike.
• When your garden has grown, learn how to put up your harvest at HomeCanning.com.
• Here is a handy reference for United States plant hardiness zones.

I've been in the mood to start an indoor herb garden.  These are some sites I've found...
