I have a friend who expressed interest in organic gardening. She told me on Saturday that she planted about five tomato plants. I joked, and said that she was going to have much more than she knew what to do with. She said, maybe, but I'm not putting anyhing on them, so some might get eaten. I thought out loud that I should know of some sites, or at least have an idea of where to go to get organic gardeneing information, although this site was in the back of my mind. (I didn't even think of the library.) I told her I'd look some up for her, as I would have more time. I also told her, that I was interested in that, too, but didn't have anyplace to plant. (The thrills of apartment living.)

Anyway, I found a list on Yahoo! Search, but most of them just seemed like ads. The only one I found that I liked, is Organic Kitchen, www.organickitchen.com I've not really had the time to go through all of them, as I've been busy with school this week that I've not taken the time. (I did some looking Sunday, I think.)

Therefore, I was wondering if you could direct me to resourcese, books, sites, etc. that I could pass along to my friend.

Thank you,
Laura

Thanks. I wasn't sure about the mag site. Some sites one has to be a subscriber to access and other sites are just ads, it seems, for subscribing to the magazine. I skipped that one. How obvious. (please note sarcasm) :rolleyes:

My best resources has been my local garden store, not some place like Home Depot, but someone small who will know the area, the pests that tend to be a problem in your area, the soil conditions you're dealing with, etc. The guy who owns it doesn't garden organically, but he's been so helpful in helping me learn about how to do it right.

Also, if you're really wanting to plant, there's a quite a bit that can be done in containers, including tomato plants.
