Gardening Resources We Use

The whole purpose of this website is to help people be able to grow their own food. So, I wanted Food Supply Gardening to include some helpful resources for you, that go beyond what I write about from my own experience growing a food supply garden. FYI, I use all of these to increase my knowledge. I would also love to have other people send me information on videos and book that they have found useful in learning to grow food.

We hope that you will come back to the site often, as it grows every month, and leave us some good, thoughtful comments on the blogs.
