Where to Go When You Need Info

The cooperative extension agencies located at colleges and universities around the US are gold mines for the home gardener. They have publications about planting schedules, recommended varieties for your region, plant diseases, insects, harvesting and preserving your crops, etc. If you need to know something, they have an expert available. Google them sometime. It'll save you time looking for a book on the subject, when the extension office has a free or low-cost publication.
