Edible Gardening Resources

Yesterday I aired a segment on my blog talk radio program called Organic Edible Gardening, where I gave 30 minutes of tips on what you need to think about and know in order to prepare, plant and maintain your own edible garden space, big or small.

As promised during the program, I’m providing a list of resources for you below.  The categories are broken up into Seeds & Plants, Soil Care & Education, Gardening Advice, and Food Education & Information.

Enjoy! If you have any more questions related to the program, feel free to leave them in the comments section below.

Resources

Seeds & Plants

Cook’s Garden– lots of seeds and small plants for edible gardening.

Soil Care & Education

Check your local Extension office (nearest university) for soil testing kits.

Gardening Advice

Visit local botanic gardens to help you get an idea of what grows in your area, when to plant it and how to best care for those plants. Botanic gardens usually have great libraries to help you get information to read up on these sorts of things, as well as help you identify unknown plants in your yard or area.

Cold Climate Gardening – blog for gardeners planting in cold climates.

Life on the Balcony – blog for gardeners with small spaces, such as apartment balconies

Food Education & Information
