Gardening on the Internet
I'm a beginning gardener, are there websites to help me?
A solid collection of books are as important as any other tool that a gardener uses. A list of recommended titles can be found at the Miller Library's Book Lists by Topic. http://depts.washington.edu/hortlib/resources/booklists.shtml
Several websites also have some good starting tips and suggestions, including:
Basic Gardening Skills from the Washington State University Master Gardener Library: An excellent
collection of essays on all the most essential elements of gardening. Good even if you don't live in Washington.
http://gardening.wsu.edu/text/lsbasic.htm
Beginning Gardening from Mother Earth News magazine is a long, but not overwhelming article covering tools, fertilizing, preparing a new planting bed, composting and more.
If you are ready for more reading try library of articles on organic gardening that goes back to 1970!

GardenWeb, provide short but pithy hints for new gardeners from one of the oldest commercial sites for
all gardeners.
