Get Gardening Help on the Internet

Though considered "work" by many, to a gardener there's nothing more relaxing than piddling around in the dirt and working with tender new plants. Here are some helpful links to get you started:

At the National Gardening Association's Easy Seed-Starting Guide, you can "get your garden off to a good start" with their step-by-step instructions and tips from the pros. Learn the germination temperature, the number of days to germinate, plant spacing, and the amount of sunlight required. Access the National Gardening Magazine to learn about new vegetables, fruit, or roses for 1998.
