My favorite Online Gardening Resources

As the garden manager for the Ridge House Cooperative, I find every now and again that I need a little inspiration when it comes to figuring out what to do around the garden. Here are some websites and magazines that I have turned to throughout the course of this semester, to make my life a little easier:

Organic Gardening. Here's a page on their website that gives you links to articles on growing techniques: http://organicgardening.com/subchannel/1,7513,s1-5-19,00.html

Sunset Magazine. Every gardener has a copy of the Sunset Garden Book, but their magazine has a checklist each month with what to do in your garden. Here's a link to their advice for May: http://www.sunset.com/sunset/garden/article/0,20633,1181031,00.html

Better Homes & Gardens. Now here's a good source for landscaping ideas. It won't help you so much with the day-to-day care of the garden, but it'll help you make heads or tails of what you want your garden to look like overall. With so many beautiful photos of gardens on their website, it's enough to inspire you to build your own breathtaking garden. http://www.bhg.com/bhg/gardening/
