I'm looking for a collection of gardening blogs or info that can teach a 1st timer such as myself some easy and valuable tips.
Organic and cheap methods preferred.
Thanks!

Thank you! I'm already off to a pretty good start. My biggest problem seems to be bugs that I can't see? Random holes in my plants and no evidence as to what is causing the sporadic terror on my leaves.

-- more specifically: http://www.veggiegardeningtips.c…And, if you've never looked into Square Foot Gardening, it's a great way to harvest a ton of food from a small area of land. A lot less weeds, too.

just brought in by first batch of peppers this evening. these things will stay in season for the next 3 months at least. In fact, last year i was still getting some growing after the first winter snow.
I've also got plenty of tomatoes on the way, and cucumber, rhubarb and squash. apples are just about finished- and we've been preserving as many as possible - but mostly i'm looking forward to the persimmons. My wife makes jams and bread out of them... man i feel like an old man... high school me would not be impressed...
- Wow. You plants are lightyears ahead of mine... Where are you located and when did you start your seeds?fafore
