Gardening resources

Use this page as a starting point for building the resource section of your own garden notebook. Add local sources, library books, seed companies, soil references, and extension-office links you trust.

Resource categories to keep

Local extensionFrost dates, pest alerts, soil testing, planting calendars, and crop-specific guidance.
Seed sourcesRecord companies you have ordered from, germination results, shipping time, and varieties worth repeating.
Soil and compostKeep contacts for compost, mulch, soil testing, amendments, and raised-bed mix suppliers.
Books and library notesWrite down useful book titles, page numbers, and the specific idea you want to try.
Local growersTrack nurseries, plant sales, seed swaps, community gardens, and experienced neighbors.

Keep the list practical and local to your garden, climate, budget, and growing style.
