Let's just say that on a frequent basis, and by frequent, I mean more than once a day - yes, this is a slight obsession - I look at gardening-related material online. Google gardening or any type of seed to plant in a garden...hundreds of pages, just begging to be looked at. I have gotten a lot of ideas about what to plant, when to plant, where to buy, gadgets, tools, etc. from the plethora of websites I have perused. The purpose of this entry is to share some of my favorite garden-related websites that I check frequently :)
General gardening websites

http://www.organicgardening.com/ - information about organic gardening, pest control, soil, weed control
http://www.garden.com/ - fun tools and gadgets for the garden enthusiast
http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ - a great collection of articles for many different gardening topics
http://www.almanac.com/gardening/ - historical information for your area

Seed websites
These websites have tons of different seed varieties, planting supplies, tools, etc. I like to check prices between the sites and look for different varieties offered. The benefit of planting from seed is the varieties to choose from. Local nurseries cannot stock every variety of every plant, but online seed companies can offer a bigger selection. So if there's something specific you're looking for, look online!

*I have not purchased anything from the majority of these sites, so I am not endorsing their products or customer service. These are the websites I have bookmarked that I plan to use, or at least use to do some comparison shopping.
Planning the garden and figuring out what to buy and from what online stores or nurseries has been a great project for me during the Winter months.
