The definitive Gardening 101—looks great for the novice (uh, me), really well laid out, with lots of pix from the author's actual garden last summer in Portland.

Tomatoes are extremely rewarding</B>, as are other salad fixings such as lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, radishes and carrots.  Other easy crops to start with are beans, onions (or leeks/shallots), potatoes, and pumpkin (although this needs room to spread).  Besides the instant gratification they provide, mistakes with annuals are easily corrected the next season without much expense.  Did the birds eat all your peas?  Try something next year to protect them.  Has your corn crop failed?  Next spring, try it in a sunnier place.  </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D9595BC4-E90B-4899-8877-7417B9002E34/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
