Now that winter is officially here, maybe you're thinking about warmer times, and your vegetable garden. Here are some online tools and resources to help you plan your next bumper crop.
Mother Earth News Garden Planner is an online app that can help you layout your garden, and once you've done that, it'll tell you when you should start planting, based on your location. It even takes into account things like successive sowing and crop rotation, all with an eye towards organic farming practices. (Don't like associating with the Mother Earthers? The same app is available via
GrowVeg.com.)
Considering more unusual varieties this year? How about heirloom varieties?
Seed Savers Exchange |
Victory Seeds |
Seeds of Change. And of course, there's always

a nearby CSA.
