Since beginning my gardening experience last year, I have purchased a few books and have read ALOT of books that I borrowed from the local public library.
My father got me a subscription to "Organic Gardening" magazine, which I thoroughly enjoy and recommend to any new gardener. (no, I have no affiliation with them.)
As I have mentioned before, books are a downfall for me, and if I am not careful, they become a problem, so I now try to choose very wisely when I buy them.
I bought this book and enjoyed it greatly. I read it from cover to cover, over the course of several weeks and learned a great many things, and relearned some things that I had forgotten.
This is an old one, written by Samuel Ogden in 1971. I would imagine that it is out of print now, so you could check your library system to see if they have it or can get it. Even though it was written in 1971, it is a really good book and a lot of the information in it is still applicable today. This one was actually on the shelves at my local library.
As I read each book, I have been trying to record in my "garden journal" anything that I find interesting and helpful, so that I can refer back to it in the future.
