Gardening Resources: Links Page
New ideas, projects, products and plants enhance the enjoyment of your home. Whether gardening for you is a means to an end, or an ongoing passion, questions always arise. No one person or resource can address all these concerns. Gardeners are unique. Your tastes are varied. Your needs are many. Planning and decisions can be difficult when your choices rely on information that is overwhelming or lacking. As I locate quality, useful websites on various garden topics, I'll list them here. Hopefully these sources of additional gardening ideas will make a contribution to your total gardening satisfaction. That is my overall objective with this lawn care site. Please let us know what works for you.
CATEGORIESPLANTS Directgardening.com offers one of the easiest ways to plan a garden. Simply select from one of the many Pre Planned Gardens . The avid gardener, however, is always looking for an additional element to a never-ending project. The Garden Planner at this site will allow you to isolate different aspects of your search, by color, size, type, even season of bloom, and so many more factors, that you'll be in plant heaven! Direct Gardening is actually a collective venture of nine of the largest producers and distributors of home gardening stock. They will help you discover that special specimen, you can order plants direct from them (like the name suggests!), and get garden catalogs from any of the members for future planning. Gardens Alive! is a supplier of gardening products developed from an environmentally wholesome perspective. Avoiding chemicals is a great start to a healthy and vibrant garden and landscape. What I really appreciate about this site is the detailed information that they provide on most (though not all) products. As you investigate the various gardening aids, be aware that additional information is provided through their Gardens Alive! Library and the Pest and Disease Guide that you can access from the left margin of the page, after the list of categories. These resources are not very obvious, so be sure you look for and take advantage of them. New customers are rewarded for venturing into the world of "natural gardening" with a generous offer, $20 FREE off your first order at Gardens Alive! Have you heard of Mike McGroarty, also known as 'Mike the Dumb Ole Dirt Farmer'?His website, FreePlants.com, rightly suggests that his emphasis is on plant propagation, but Mike's articles cover a wide range of gardening topics. He shares my style of giving not only a step-by-step guide, but also the reasons why you should do or not do a certain technique. His knowledge is extensive and well presented. If you go to Mike's site, be prepared that he is a bit 'in-your-face' with offering his home-business/backyard-growers opportunity. Just look past that to get to his articles. When you follow his link, continue on past the first page (it looks like you must sign up to access the articles, but you don't have to). On the second page you'll find the excellent garden articles listed on the left hand margin. Just keep scrolling down and see the wide variety of topics. Unfortunately there is no order by alphabet or topic, but the prize for scrolling down is better than you get from CrackerJack!
