Gardening Resources for Large to Small Plots

Books:


Online Resources:
  • Smart Gardener is a free, online garden journal that keeps everything organized for you.  You can design your plot, calculate how much of each veggie you need to grow depending on how many people you are feeding, it will have a to-do list for you, and gives many helpful tips.  I love this site!

  • Zone-by-zone to-do lists from Organic Gardening.  A great reference to stay on track.


Seeds and Tools:

Do you have a favorite gardening resource?  I'd love to hear about it.


I'm sharing this at Simple Lives Thursday.
