Great sites for Gardening help.

By

When In Doubt.
There are times when I need a little bit of gardening help. When my friends or family do not have an answer, I can always turn to the internet. I have found several great sites that have top quality information.

Reddit
  In the past few years, maybe you have heard of this site. If you have not, I suggest that you check it out. There are two areas of reddit that I like to go to.
Gardening - here you can find useful tips and stories by other gardeners. Even ask them questions if you can not find the answer.

What Is This Plant - Did you go hiking, and found an odd plant? Take a picture of the plant, and post it here. In a few hours someone will let you know what it is, or at least where to look.

You Grow Girl
  This site is very well written. The pictures in each post are very well done. I enjoy looking at You Grow Girl from time to time. I always seem to get inspired when I do. check out You Grow Girl.
 This is a great article for anyone who is going to want to save plants (if you haven't already.)
Bringing Potted Plants Indoors


Kitchen Gardeners International
 Or KGI as the cool kids like to say. I love cooking, and I love to garden. This site combines both worlds into just a visually, and mentally appeasing site. I bet you will love Kitchen Gardeners International too.
 What is better, hot or cold compost? Find out Here.

 66 Square Feet
 This is just an awesome idea. In today's world, gardening can be cramped for most people, especially living in the city. The layout of Marie's garden, and the plants and flowers that she grows are just beautiful. Check this blog out for sure. 66 Square Feet.
 My favorite part of her blog is Roof Farm. Just great pictures, and well written articles all around. If you are gardening in a small area, check Marie's blog out.








Urban Farm Online
  Looking to raise a goat in the city? Maybe just a few gardening tips. Urban Farm Online has all of these things, and more. UFO has very well written and intriguing articles. They really do have tips on goat keeping,a even bee keeping. For a interesting read check out Urban Farm Online.






I hope everyone checks these sites out. There is so much good information to be had in these five sites alone. Take a look at let me know what you think. Feel a blog should be listed here? Leave a comment and I can make it happen.

    I am really looking forward to reading more here and thanks for the tips on where to go. We just purchased our first home and we have a garden plot that is waiting for some great veggies and berries. Since this is my first garden, I'll need lots of advice. Thanks for commenting and linking up on my sidebar. Have a great weekend!

Moss balls, my wet friends.

By
 Hello, I'm going to be talking about moss balls , and aquatic plant. I had to take down my half gallon tank yesterday and inside I had a moss ball. I had bought this plant at Petco when I worked there. I'm told that they only grow 5mm a year, but this moss ball has easily doubled his size in the past six months. Why would it grow so fast? If I were to guess, it would be because I had a very poor filter, led lights, and an over stocked tank. I had 15 fish in the half gallon tank.
