Here's What You'll Find Inside:
 Links
and Resources
"Man shall not live by Internet alone." That's my motto, and
that's why you'll find other resources--books, magazines, whatever--in addition
to the ubiquitous collection of links. Not that I have anything against links.
The more, the merrier, I say, and I've made a substantial collection of
gardening bookmarks available to you here.
Pride of place goes to links and resources concerning cold
climate gardening. Not surprisingly, it's the largest section. But
I've also included links and resources to other topics dear to my heart.
I want to keep tabs on nurseries in upstate
NY that are growing their own plants as well as other resources in
"my neck of the woods," so to speak. And around the
house, cottage
gardening is my modus operandi, so I have a selection of links and
resources for that, too. And I'm a big fan of garden weblogs, or journals,
so I've included a directory of them to enable you to find them more easily.
Name
That Plant!Have you ever had to choose between several attractive cultivars of
one plant, and wished you knew which one was the hardiest? Me, too. That's
why I've set up this table. Every time I find out about the hardiest cultivar
or species of a plant, I'll put the information here. I expect lots of
help from the reading public here! You don't have to have grown it yourself
if you can cite your source of information.
Garden
Blogs
A blog (short for web log) is a kind of online journal. There are lots
of different kinds of blogs on the internet, and garden blogs are just
a small fraction of the blogs out there. To me, they are the equivalent
of a virtual garden club, only instead of members from your local area,
you get to compare notes with gardeners from all over the United States,
and, if you know the language, even other parts of the world. I love this
aspect of the internet, and I want to do everything I can to encourage
it. That's why you'll find links to every garden-related weblog I could
find here for your own discovery and enjoyment, along with some other
garden-related feeds.
The
Cold Climate Gardening Journal
This is the companion blog to the rest of this website. All the contributors are gardeners from cold climates in various parts of this country. By sharing our own joys and struggles, we hope to give you encouragement as you garden in your own unique horticultural environment. Please feel free to add your two cents' worth in the comments.
